People support their country here a lot, and being in a diverse city, I expect it.
It's very much night and day, ... Last year I was more of a surprise when I started doing well in mid-season. At that point people started saying, 'OK, now we have to do something.'
Failure either breaks people or it makes them succeed.
I vote. People died for our right to vote and I can't let that go.
Eventually, people are going to find out I can play.
People in general misunderstand me. I'm very aware of the stereotype that comes with being a basketball player. But I'm well-rounded. I'm cultured. It's funny: When I speak, people are like, "Wow! You can really talk." I'm like, "What did you expect?"
The stereotype of a leader is one who talks and peps people up and things like that, but in actuality you have to listen to your teammates.
The mood always lightens after a win. People are nicer, the food tastes better, practice is a lot more fun,
I know I'm a good person. I do my job. I know I'm a professional, and if I do the right things, people will respect me. No matter where it is, as long as I'm playing basketball, as long as I'm in the NBA, that's all that matters.
He's a Raptor now, no matter what happened in the past, he's a Raptor now. He's here to help us win and I don't think people should forget that.
We just got steamrolled. I don't think it's a step back because it's not like we played to the best of our abilities. We got beat by 20. We know what we didn't do.
We were panicking a little bit too much, some guys were looking like they didn't know what was going on. Thank god we won.
Sometimes when I have a 1-on-1 advantage and teams don't do a good job of either doubling or clogging the paint, that works to my advantage.
Every team goes through changes. It's up to us as players to put that aside and just play. It's hard to see positives getting beat by 20, plain and simple.
