“It was my mom who pushed me. My mom actually pushed my dad to train me...” — RJ Barrett Quote

“It was my mom who pushed me. My mom actually pushed my dad to train me. My dad knows what it takes to play at this level and be a really good basketball player, and he just wanted me to make the choice for myself.”

“I want coach to be tough on me. That's the only way, I feel, if you're pushed, it will make you play better.”

“I'm not gonna lie, I'm a huge Patriots fan, so I like Tom Brady.”

“I am originally a surd who was born in Delhi in 1982, just two years before the Sikh riots, so all my childhood pictures are in baby frocks with ponytails, as my parents wanted to hide the fact that I was a Sikh boy, given the riots. My dad worked for a travel agency, and we soon moved to Saudi Arabia.”

“It's so crazy: my mom and dad divorced when I was 11, and my fondest memories are in the Philippines and being raised by my mom. It's such a big part of my life.”

“My parents separated when I was 2, and my dad always lived in Chicago and my mother in L.A. I'd go back and forth and sometimes spend the summer with my dad, but L.A. was home.”
