"In the field of mindfulness & peace, be present in this breath, for it is the only moment where life is actually happening."

"Peace is not the silence of the storm, but the calm center you maintain within yourself. As a creative innovator, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"Let go of the weight of yesterday, and receive the clear canvas of this present day."

"In the field of resilience & focus, we are not defined by the weight of our struggles, but by the strength we find when we rise."

"Like a lighthouse in the storm, your inner resolve must remain steady and bright. As a historical figure, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The hardest trials do not consume the gold; they refine the spirit and clear the path ahead."

"I want to show good sportsmanship."

"You can't know who you are unless you know where you came from and give praise to those who laid the foundation."

"Black Lives Matter and police brutality are issues that are important to me."

"I'm just always around my cars. My favorite brand is Cadillac."

"My mother is basically an immigrant because she came from Tonga."

"I loved being poor, because it teaches you humility."

"Going back and getting my degree is something that I promised myself and my mom the day I called her and my dad to tell them that I was entering the draft. Not a lot of people in my family can say they got a college diploma, so I want to do that - for them and for me."

"I know what it was like to grow up in Chicago and see the same problems every day."

"I wanted to be like Juwan Howard, whose basketball camp I went to as kid for six years. Those camps meant everything to me and my friends. We'd all seen Juwan on TV and then... there he was. In our gym. We could see him. We could give him a high five."

"You know I'm a Chicago kid, and Chicago will always have a big piece of my heart. But with Milwaukee - for me it was just love at first sight. As soon as I got here, I was like, Wow, this is the place for me."

"Milwaukee, man... it's home."

"As a basketball player, you dream of being able to play in front of your hometown. And if you're lucky, other guys from your city are right there beside you."

"I believe that if you love what you do, and you work hard at it, everything falls in place."

"Yeah, I've had injuries."

"I'm lucky to have the support and the platform I have, and I plan on making the most of it."

"We might all come from different places, but home means something - something powerful - to each of us."

"We carry home with us, all the good and the bad and the in-between."

"Look at everybody in the league. They don't pay players to play defense."

"I've scored 30s and 20s off of guys who say they try to play defense."

"We're professionals, everybody scores. It's just a matter of limiting them as much as you can and trying to contain them."

"I love sleep. I find sleep to be a hobby."

"I always pray before the game. I have a big-time belief in that. It just gives me that extra boost, the confidence, the faith that I'm going to play and be safe."

"I love spilling my creativity on paper. I just draw."

"I want to always serve other people. It could be the youngest guy in the gym that looks up to me or the oldest fella. I just want to be there for them."
