I'm definitely active in the community down there in Charleston.

I like my life. I'm not living through anybody else's eyes, anybody else's life; I'm enjoying mine.
My parents always told me be confident but be humble at the same time.
It's good that other teams want me, but I'll be more than happy to stay in Milwaukee.
Nothing has ever been given to me.
You always want all of your sports teams at your school to do well.
I was born and raised in Charleston, SC.
Just knowing how to get to my spots - that's the key. Once I get to my main spots, I feel like I have a lot of options I can go to - keep on driving, pass, or shoot. I just feel like if I can get to those spots, I can play my game.
My main improvement on defense has just been my coaches. They've been teaching me defensive schemes, how to guard guys, and how to use my length.
Heading into college, I was mainly just a spot-up shooter.
I think Giannis can be a LeBron-type player, like an all-world, Hall of Famer, MVP, legend, one of the best ever. He's doing the right things to put himself in that situation. I think he will get there.
We love playing the game. That's why we're here. That's our job. We just want to come out and play every day.
We can't take quarters, minutes, plays off.
We had a lot of close games; we were losing games. Failing in those opportunities - when the game was close? And we needed a bucket or a stop? I wasn't able to come through. It's just... something that you get comfortable with as time goes on. You're OK with failing, as long as you're trying as hard as you can.
Just working on stuff off the dribble a lot more. It's helping me create my own shot and freeing me up a little bit, being able to make plays and make shots.
I'm happy with being myself.
I tried one tiny piece of kangaroo, which I never thought I would try, and it was actually pretty good. I probably wouldn't eat it again, but it was still pretty good.
There aren't any negative thoughts about my time in Detroit; I just didn't play. Sometimes you have to go through that at different stages. I went through it during a tough period, my first year in the league, but it was a good year for me off the court.
I measure myself against everybody, not just the shooting guards.
I think mid-range shooters are hard to get to a lot of times. Guys are going at you all the way to the paint or looking to swat it at the 3-point line.
I'm not a guy who makes five or 10 moves. I'm just more of a simple, straight-line driver, just try to be crafty with my dribble and keep it tight.
I just want to go out there and play hard every night and do my best.
I developed my game a lot and learned how to score off the dribble. I learned how to play team defense and one-on-one defense.
I got to work on my body, kept working on my game, and also just got to learn out there from the guys who are playing. Getting stronger, working on my upper-body strength, lower-body strength, just trying to get stronger.
I think LeBron is the best player in the world, as far as overall in his career and what he's doing for this league on and off the court.
Giannis is truly a student of the game. He listens to the coaches, they show him film, and he's always in the gym working on his game and trying to find ways to get better.
In the month of December, it was my ultimate mission to find and honor the special people in my cities and provide them with experiences they would never forget.
Now, I'm not afraid. Or getting myself down about missing shots or missing an assignment late. The game goes on. You've got another chance. That's definitely a mental thing.
I've always been trying to add stuff to my game.
Nobody's perfect, so don't go out there and try to act like you got to live a perfect life. Be yourself, and be happy with it.
When you look the wrong way to cross the street, you've got to be careful with it.
I love challenges.
From Day One, I've always had to work to find my way onto the court or onto the top position or whatever it may be.
Texas A&M was always my biggest school.
You can always get better with your ballhandling.
If they focus on me too often, somebody's going to be wide open. It's all about playing together and playing as a team.
I really wasn't a good defensive player at all.
Anytime you fall short with someone you've been with the whole time, you always ask yourself or ask the other partner, 'Can we do this?'
Teams usually take on the personality of the coach.
We have to play a complete game.
I love everything about Christmas - the food, the 24/7 family time, watching someone you care about open the perfect present - and '12 Days of Khrismas' allowed me to spread that energy throughout all my communities.
You can't stop great players. You can only make it tough on them.
