“I always speak my mind. Whether it be something that's going on in the world, something on the basketball court, or just something I saw with somebody else that's not right.”

“The main thing is confidence. I'm gaining more and more confidence to do whatever I want to do on the basketball court, whether it is shooting threes or sprinting to the rim and finishing or...”

“It's not all fine and dandy, but a smile can go a long way. Show some love, be patient, and this world will be a much better place.”

“I've become a much better player, so I feel like my voice is heard and taken for what it's worth a little bit more.”

“I built a fort when I was little, with pillows and blankets.”

“I loved the city of Chicago, and I love the Reinsdorfs. I'm forever grateful for them in taking a chance on me, allowing me to become the player that I am today. It's still incredible to me...”

“I play dominoes all the way until I got Bible study. And then I do Bible study. I go to the game. After the game, come home. Dinner. Dominoes until I go to sleep. I'm. Not. Joking.”

“She's very loving. That's my family. That's Michelle Lambert. She is my mom.”

“Im from Tomball: Tomball, Texas. Its a small town on the northwest side of Houston. I dont think it's as country as people make it seem. It's actually growing. But don't go there without me,...”

“You ask what position I play, I say point guard.”

“If you didn't talk to me to write something, you're just making stuff up. You're going by what you think, what you're assuming. I leave it at that. Read it. Believe what you want. But at the...”
