ZACH LAVINE

I will forever be proud to call myself a Bruin and will never forget the memories that were made here.

Watching game film motivates me a lot. It shows me what I need to work on and determines the specific workouts I do.

I've never been a shy person. I've always been able to talk pretty well.

I don't want anybody to feel like they're different.

Lunchtime and recess, that was a big part for me growing up. I think it's important for kids to have that.

It's always good to be known. You want to build your brand up, want to build your name.

My dad, Paul, is, like, my best friend.

I play baseball - 'The Show' - a lot. I'm pretty good at that. I go 'Road to the Show,' where you build your own player. I build myself when I used to play as a center fielder. Power, speed, stealing bases.

I can't drink anything but chocolate. I don't even like any milk but chocolate. When I eat cereal, I barely touch the white part.

I've never seen hard work fail.

A lot of people I've played with see me as a scorer and a shooter. I'm still fast and everything like that, but then, when they see me dunk, it's like 'Oh, damn.'

I've always felt I had the ability to be a good, elite defender in this league on the wing. I just need to lock in. I feel if I pick that up, I can be a very good all-around player.

I just have a connection with sign language. I always thought the deaf community was a different community to be a part of. In high school, me and my friend took sign language.

I try to let my game speak for itself.

I've always been able to shoot the ball, so it's just about continuing to work on your shot and shoot the ball. That's the main thing. Got to get those shots up.

I just try to attack the rim as hard as I can. Try to get the crowd pumped up a little bit.

I feel like I've accomplished everything I could in the dunk contest. It would be hard for me to go back and outdo myself.

You look at Kawhi Leonard, Tony Allen, Draymond Green: they are great on ball, and they are great team defenders as well. You want to be both of them, not just one.

Whether it's backing up or starting, I have the confidence to go out there and do good, so I'm gonna play my role.

There are going to be good days and bad days... and you have to learn to fight through that.

We want to be two-way players; that's the best thing.

LeBron's one of the most freaky athletes of all time.

In high school, we used to sign to each other during the game, signaling different plays and stuff like that. It was kind of fun. It was definitely unique.

You have to handle adversity well. There are roadblocks you will have to fight through.

If there are negative people around me, I just try to distance myself from that.
