Every night, you're going up against an elite guard and there's really nothing you can do. You either have to be God-gifted and move your feet, or else you're toast.
You have to continue to be positive and go out there and play hard, no matter what the outcome is.
I want people to see me as a two-way player. A defensive player and an offensive player.
I think the thing that helps you get to the next level is being able to affect the game in different ways. And that's me getting my teammates shots instead of me just coming off pin-downs.
That's what the game is supposed to be about: always wanting to get better, be the best you can be. I hold myself to that every single summer, every single year.
I love the game of basketball so much. I have a lot of goals for myself. I want to make sure I compete every single day.
The only thing I wanted to change in the past was being a little bit more disciplined on the defensive end.
Al Horford is a very good player; a great team player.
You can ask all the best players in the NBA - there's not one player in the NBA that guards them like me.
We all know what it means to be a Miami Heat player, the passion and the dedication it takes to be a part of this culture. And I always felt like if I ever got an opportunity to play here, then I would fit in perfect.
Of course I feel like any player that plays this game should want to reach the highest level and the highest accolades, which includes the All-Star Game. So, yeah, I would be dumb not to want to be an All-Star.
When I have basketball camps and I tell kids my story, they're like, 'You played in Maine? In Israel? You did this and that?' I experienced a lot, and I feel like it made me not only the person I am today, but the basketball player I am.
I got down on myself a lot, but the D-League gave me a chance to get that confidence back.
I'm a true believer that God puts us in situations to help us ultimately get to where we need to be.
I play because God blessed me to play this game and that's what I enjoy doing.
I just try to come in every single day and be professional and work as hard as I can. I feel like you can't replace that.
Our job is to play basketball, not worry about trades.
I want to work on finishing at the basket more as far as more floaters, being more consistent.
I try to leave everything on the floor every single game.
I always say all the time that's what the NBA is all about - getting to play against the best guys and opportunities to redeem yourself against teams that beat you.
It's nice to be back in front of the fans and being in Boston.
I feel like if you play basketbal, you should want to improve all the time. You should never feel like you don't need to improve.Collection: Play
I don't really listen to music before the game. I mean, I play it in my car on the way to the arena, but I don't really listen to music before the game. I'm usually working out or lifting weights.Collection: Mean
Obviously defense is my strength, but I still need to improve on that. I need to improve on offense. Every part.Collection: Needs
