Everybody would love to be able to be great and make it to the NBA All-Star Game as a rookie. I mean, that is everybody's goal.

Greg Oden

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 you're a rookie, the game moves a 1000 miles per hour. But each year, you get more mature, the game slows down for you, and that's when you realize you're getting better at belonging. When you know where to go and where to be, that's when the game is coming a little easier to you.

Danny Green

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

40-minute game at Duke - they got soft rims - I'd probably score 84 or 85. I wouldn't pass the ball. I wouldn't even think about passing it. It would be like a 'NBA Live' or an 'NBA 2K7' game: you just shoot with one person.

Gilbert Arenas

Actually when I was overseas I didn't watch any NBA. I was like, 'Forget the NBA,' and this and that. 'Cause I was hurt that I wasn't on an NBA team. I kind of was rebellious when it came to that because I was kind of jealous and envious that I wasn't on an NBA team, so I kind of just focused on my game and focused on overseas.

Patrick Beverley

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

RJ Barrett

When I came in the NBA, it was more a U.S. game. Now you can watch the NBA anywhere in the world.

Vlade Divac

I was lucky in my rookie year to play in the NBA Finals, to have that experience, to see what it was like to get to that stage.

Joe Harris

I know how coming in as a rookie, on a rookie scale, you don't really know what you can buy, what you want to buy.

Tobias Harris

That's what people don't understand, that in the NBA these are the best 450 players in the world, in the game of basketball, are in the NBA.

Jeanie Buss

It took a lot of work to go from the 'Not Top 10' to being selected for the NBA All-Rookie First Team.

Jordan Clarkson

I agreed to film after my rookie year in Golden State. I was more used to cameras and felt that my journey to the NBA was a story worth sharing. Little did we know how much bigger the platform and documentary would become after Linsanity.

Jeremy Lin

I always tried to be an all-around player. In college, I felt like I needed to add to my game to get to another level, to get to the NBA. The NBA has really turned to positionless basketball, so it was very important to me to have an all-around game so I could stand out in front of other guys.

My good friend Yao Ming was the first big player in the NBA to come from China. He gave himself to the game and was successful. That inspired the NBA to invest more and do more for the game of basketball. We're building academies not just in China, but in India, Africa, Europe and South America as well.
