It's a luxury to play. I get to play basketball for a living. I'm a lucky guy and I'm thankful for everything I have and what I get to do. I realize how many people would give their left foot to just play one game in the NBA. This is the NBA!

Chris Bosh

Obviously in the NBA, winning is everything; every NBA player will tell you when you are in a winning situation that's what this league is about. That one year in Phoenix when we went to the Western Conference finals was amazing; Portland when we got to the second round was a great year.

Robin Lopez

My dad used to play basketball, now he gets to see me in the NBA Finals.

Serge Ibaka

For me, I spent four years at Duke, and I was 22 my rookie year. For a lot of guys, I was old as a rookie, but nothing could prepare me for the NBA, both on the court and off the court.

J. J. Redick

When I was a rookie, what motivated me was trying to win Rookie of the Year and play the best that I could that I would compete so hard.

Michael Carter-Williams

My rookie year was so much easier, and it was so much shorter than most rookies due to the fact that I had KG. That changes everything. I was blessed to have the opportunity to play with KG - not only learn but play with KG. Not many people in the NBA are able to say that.

Karl-Anthony Towns

I would go after any rookie. Any rookie with a lot of hype. I used to do it to Jason Kidd. I would go at him. I'd be like, 'Young fella, you're going to get a rude awakening in the NBA.'

Gary Payton

My rookie year, we used to play all the time, literally play 'Call of Duty' all the time, because it was like all of the younger guys on the team would get into the communication with the headsets and talking trash.

Kyle Lowry

I've been lucky enough to play on NBA teams I really enjoy, teams where I've liked everybody and had fun, and had that college kind of experience with an NBA team. When you have that, and I don't know that everyone does, but when I've had it, that's what it's all about.

Steve Nash

I just try to play every game like it's Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Kawhi Leonard

I have every goal you could possibly dream of - Rookie of the Year, NBA champion, MVP.

RJ Barrett

When I first got to the NFL, I didn't see no double coverage at all. I was getting single coverage. I was killing it. Then they were, 'all right, this guy can play and we have to double this guy.' Since probably like the 11th or 12th game my rookie year, I started to get double-teamed.

Julio Jones

If I had an opportunity to hand-pick a team that I wanted to play in the NBA Finals, it would probably be the Lakers.

Scottie Pippen

My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn't really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I've been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I've been in the NBA.
