As a U.S. History major, there is something very cool about being in cities, and walking the streets of Philadelphia or Boston or New York and seeing historical sites.

When I got done at Duke, I almost felt ashamed of it. I almost tried to distance myself from being the Duke guy.

As late as my junior year, I was taking Italian at Duke because I thought I was going to have to go overseas and play. Then I had a great senior year and became a lottery pick.

I think my confidence and competitiveness - that will - comes from my mother. I always knew my mom loved me, and she always made me feel like I was - I don't want to say 'special' - but that I was capable of doing things. Before I ever shot a basketball or before I ever threw a baseball, I had confidence, and that was from my mother.

I always talk about shooting being broken down into three things. You have to have some semblance of good form. The second part is repetition: doing things over and over again until you really develop a skillset. And then the third part is confidence. But for me, you can't have confidence without having that second part.

I won't take a shot unless I think it's going to go in.

As we grow up and we're developing, our ego needs to be contained, otherwise we'd all be selfish two- and three-year-olds, screaming every time we didn't get our way.

Player movement is good, and guys should be able to choose where they want to play.

Growing up, I didn't know anyone that was a watch collector or into watches, but I was always kind of curious about them. Before the NBA Draft, I knew I was going to get drafted, and I wanted to commemorate that by buying a watch.

Some collectors do but no, I don't look at watches as an investment.

New Orleans has an incredible culture. Everybody brings up food first, but I realized there's a lot more to that in terms of music and art and people and history.

I feel like I've been mentoring young guys for a long time.

I've certainly benefited from the three-point line and the emphasis on shooting them.

I've been very fortunate to be on some great teams and in great locker rooms.

I'm not naive - I think it's rare in the NBA every day to actually be able to enjoy being around the people you're working with.

My parents always wanted me to do the right thing. My mom, I think her exact words were, 'You're not a chicken in the coop playing in the scraps, you're an eagle.' I was like, 'Oh, OK... ' But really, I've used that throughout my life.

I have this personality where I'm all in on something or I'm off of it.

I hate to admit it, but anytime you're at a stoplight and your phone is within reach? You pick it up. It's become instinctual. Even if you put the phone down and walk out of the room, you're always aware of where it is. It's become an extension of you.

Twitter has now just become a bunch of angry voices. That for me, I had to detach from there.

I've been on teams where you literally don't talk to each other at dinner. Just six guys on their phones.

One of the reasons that the NBA is so good is NBA Twitter.

I don't own a watch anymore. Literally, that was an addiction. I'm not afraid to admit that. It took me over. My possessions possessed me.

We're going to have a generation of kids whose norm will be people just being addicted to their phones. And that's what scares me. The impact on my kids, I think about that daily. Like, what is this doing to me and my family?

I'm very grateful to be able to give back.

I know when I was a kid, I looked up to athletes. So, if an athlete spoke out on an important issue, then I was probably more likely to hear that opinion and to see that stance and recognize the importance of that.
