I think coach knows I can make plays. He wanted to get me over the hump with plays like that because we play of lot of games where we're in that situation.
You play anybody and if they shoot 70 per cent from three, they're going to be tough to beat.
If you don't see anything wrong with your game, you need to wake up.
Leaders set the tone for their peers. Peers look up to them and say, 'They're doing it, so I'm doing it.'
If you want to be successful, you are going to have to deal with pressure.
I want to go get a stop on defense so James can do it again. It was a big spurt for him. That made then get out of their game plan and play him closer. But when he does that, we want to make sure we capitalize and get timely stops. And that's what got us right back in the game.
I want to hold onto that because I think every kid when they dream about playing basketball, they don't dream about being a role player. They dream about being the man. I have that position in Toronto and to give that up and go somewhere else to be an addition would kinda defeat the purpose of my dreams.
I liked being a kid. I liked being a student.
I vote. People died for our right to vote and I can't let that go.
If you're not getting better in the summer, you're wasting your time.
Sometimes you surprise yourself with what you do under pressure.
I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.
I think we all have our own different styles. [James] LeBron likes to be comfortable - he's going to be more comfortable over everything else. Dwyane [Wade Jr.] likes really stylish stuff. If you bring something questionable he'll try it.
Schoolwork came kind of natural to me, but when I brought home a grade that wasn't up to par, my parents let me know it.
