"People with true temperament can't play with hypocrites"

"Who is honest when accepting interviews"

"I don't understand what Americans think"

"No, this James has gone fishing, can you still ask... Can't you speak without James?"

"I should thank the young master, if it weren't for the young master, James wouldn't have reached 40 points so quickly"

"What's there to say? When Westbrook was in the Lakers, he publicly said that he wanted Irving Westbrook was threatened by death and kept saying that he would not let go of a single brother. Let’s see how many times Gordon asked his teacher Murray to stand up and praise Westbrook. There is really nothing to say about hypocritical people.”
