“It’s not when I met him, it’s what everybody else had said about him. If you constantly have people in this organization saying, ‘This kid, he works. He’s going to be good. A tough little son of a gun.’ I was like, ‘OK, let’s see.’ Then whenever we meet, it is that. He’s like, ‘Yo, let’s get in the gym, let’s get in the gym, let’s get in the gym.’ I’m like, ‘I’m with it.’ You’ll never hear me complain about not working. Ever since then, I’m happy for him, I’m proud of him and I want him to be the best player he can possibly be.”
