I always had the confidence. The platform, guys getting injured and giving me multiple opportunities, that has allowed me to showcase it.

It's hard to come off the bench and be ready all the time.

I want to be me - and people know it's me. I don't want: 'He's trying to act like Kobe' or 'His answers are like something Kobe would've said.' Nah. If it's me, I'm going to say it.

When it comes to basketball you always want to put the ball in the hole. You want to get as consistent and get that muscle memory right and be consistent.

I appreciate the city of New York just embracing me, and Brooklyn in general.

I don't turn down fights unless I'm injured. Never have. So it's a part of my makeup.

My whole body is a wreck. I've injured myself so many times with jujitsu, skateboarding, football. I guess I like to live hard.

I think a lot of guys take a lot of time between fights, and they say that they're injured. You've never heard that from me.

I've fought injured so many times for so many years.

I'm not one that sulks when he's injured. I use it as time to learn, to pick up on things.
