“Honestly, I chose 1 because I wore it in college and my rookie year. M...” — Michael Carter-Williams Quote

Honestly, I chose 1 because I wore it in college and my rookie year. My mind wasn't even thinking about D-Rose and everything like that.

I try to play as hard as I can and that's all I can really ask from myself. Just to put in the work so I can be successful on the court.

I believe that I'm one of the best defenders in this league; I take a lot of pride in that.

I've been dealing with a lot of pressure coming from Syracuse and having the ball in my hands my sophomore year after a bunch of guys left. And it was my job to lead the team.

Let's be clear about one thing. Non-college educated doesn't mean stupid. It means you wisely chose not to pay $40,000 a year to be lectured on microaggressions.

I'd like to think I wouldn't get booed off stage if I chose not to wear the head - I did gigs prior to having the head made and never had any problems. I'm aware though that, as a gimmick, it can create its own little monster as a brand.

I know I don't go looking for directors. I always wonder why they chose me.

I've been criticized for the things I chose and things I've chosen to do.

Look, a lot of people in my grandfather's position would have chosen to go out and be really wild with their spending and do a lot of crazy things. But instead, he chose to give back to the community, whether it was the public schools of St. Louis, the library, the zoo, or the science center or you name it.
