MARKIEFF MORRIS

I really didn't have aspirations. I was just tall.

Any time you score all the touchdowns, you're going to be the best player.

A couple colleges tried recruiting me without Marcus and I just shut it down right away. That was clear from the beginning. It was always a package deal.

Some of my best experiences have been at KU and I'm thankful for my teammates, coaches and all the people that support KU.

I'm watching a lot of film to see what I can do differently, to see how I can help when I get in the game.

I can be on my own.

When we have the LeBrons and the D-Wades, we need to be heckling them.

Sometimes little brothers and big brothers get into it.

I can just be one of those guys that used in the mix, playing 4 or 5 if we play smaller.

We do our best to compete and show how good we are together. The game is more fun when I have my brother.

I've had the iPad for a nice little minute, not into gadgets like that, though.

The game isn't the same when we're apart.

I grew up - obviously I'm from Philly, where Kobe is from, so we grew up idolizing Kobe. He meant everything to us.

I leave Phoenix and everybody's calling me disgruntled, but then you see my teammates that were there speak highly of me.

Adidas shelltoes, I always loved them.

We need the fans to win games. We need the energy from them to win a lot of games and we need that every night, not just certain nights.

I'm passionate about winning.

I ain't tripping about not playing with my brother.

Russell Westbrook's just a wild guy.

Just watching Steve Nash growing up, and what he did with Amare - you can't play with a better point guard than him.

As I move on to the professional stage of my career, I will always remember my time as a Jayhawk. Playing here has prepared me for the opportunity to have a successful career in the NBA.

That's what brothers do. I expect a lot from him. We always work out together. We always do everything together. I know what he's capable of doing. He knows what I'm capable of doing. When it doesn't happen, we pull each other's cards.

It's tough to be away from my wife and my daughter every day during the bubble. So to have my brother here, it's special for me.

I had a couple great years in Phoenix, man.

It wasn't about the money. I was just playing basketball, playing with my brother, happy being in the NBA.
