Quote by Damian Lillard (about Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan)

For me it's just amazing that I grew up watching Tim Duncan and KG and Kobe and Paul Pierce, Allen Iverson and all those guys and now it's like, "Man, I can't believe they actually got old." It's like they actually walked away. It's crazy to think about, but the game has to keep moving.

I won't let that money define me
I let my struggles refine me
I know my angels behind me

Wanna slice the pie then you gotta have hope
Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke
