I listen to a lot of Drake and Meek Mill before games.
-
Low ceilings, low doors. I hate that. Oh my God, it's the worst. This world is too small for me.
-
Nobody wants to be losing, especially in New York. It's extremely tough. That's how it is.
-
I have to do a better job of picking the spots where I want to attack and picking the right moment when I need to attack.
-
I know my game. I know what I need to get better at and be better at.
-
I just like boxing.
-
You need a long-term coach to be able to win.
-
I try to eat as healthy as possible and try to put some weight on.
-
Some girls are intimidated by my height, obviously. But a lot of girls do like it, so that's cool.
-
I'm a student of the game.
-
I learned English from watching American movies and American series. And you'd watch the movie the first time and not understand anything. Then you'd watch it again, and you'd start understanding more and more, and that's how I learned English.
-
Basketball is pretty big in Latvia.
-
You always gotta find a little bit of time for the girls, right?
-
I always try to stay aggressive. I always use my strengths and always work on my weaknesses to get better. That's just who I am.
-
Maybe in Latvian one day I'll rap a little bit, but definitely not in English.
-
When I was eighteen and I won the European Championship - that's when I realized I had an opportunity to play in the NBA one day.
-
For the triangle to really work, everybody needs to be on the same page and know how to play it.
-
I want to have a long career in the NBA. First, I want to be an All-Star, and hopefully one day I can win a ring with the New York Knicks.
-
No one's comfortable with losing.
-
New York City is crazy; there are people everywhere. New York is the best city in the world, I think. You have everything there.
-
When I have difficulties, I will not complain.
-
I'm really focused on getting better as a player.
-
I heard New York fans and people in New York are hard-working fans, so they want to see players work hard on the court. That's the first thing I've got to do.
-
I pick up languages fast.
