For me, when I was in high school, that was my ultimate dream, was to make it to the NBA.
Now, is Lil B jealous of Kevin Durant on the basketball court? Hmm. Maybe. Maybe not. I love basketball. Do I wish I could play in front of all those people everyday, all day? Of course. I love basketball.
I'm playing basketball. It's my dream job. So I'm a pretty happy camper.
Just to be able to play one minute in an NBA game, I'm grateful for that.
I never said to myself, 'Get to the NBA, be an All-Star, make a $100 million contract.'
What kid who was playing basketball didn't have the dream about going to the NBA? It's the biggest and final step.
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.
It's always been my goal to make it to the NBA.
The NBA? Never in my wildest dreams when I was playing in Division III basketball.
I want to be the next Paul Pierce.
It's a league where guys are trying to play to the best of their ability, whether you're a superstar or trying to make the NBA.
But really, I've worked my whole life to become a great basketball player. When I see that jersey go up, I'm sure I'm gonna have flashbacks to when I was 4 and 5 years old playing in my driveway because I loved it. I still love it to this day. It's been one of my first loves in life: basketball.
Some kids have lifelong dreams of wanting to play in the NBA.
I've won a championship on every level except the NBA. It's frustrating to have not gotten that in the first two years.
I believed I could play in the NBA.
I think everybody's goal is to make the NBA. My goal is to be a star.
I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in.
If the opportunity to go to the NBA is there, then I'm going to take it.
Everybody wants to be in the NBA. That's the whole goal. I'm no different than that.
Making it to the NBA is a big goal in my life, and one day I hope to conquer it.
I played baseball too, and flag football, but basketball was the easiest for me. Then when I was 12, my dad asked me what I wanted to do, and I said 'Be an NBA player.' Since then, he started training me.
I always wanted to be a basketball player. Nothing more, nothing less.
Well, like every kid playing basketball, I dreamed of being an NBA player.
I think when I moved to the United States and saw how serious basketball was and how good I was compared to everyone else. You just came from Canada and you're top five in the country; you're young and everyone says you can be a pro. That's when I started thinking: if I work hard, the dream can come true.
