I was in school to play basketball; I wasn't trying to be a doctor. It's hard to talk about the NCAA rules and everything that happened in the past because I've just been focused on practicing and getting ready... I was trying to reach my dreams, and that's to play in the NBA.
From Ben Simmons
I just want to win. I'm a team guy. I just want my team to do well.
I loved my Communications class. The toughest one I had was Oceanography only because I didn't have too much interest in the oceans.
Getting the rebound and going, that's probably the most fluid part of my game.
If I ever make a lot of money in the NBA, I'm going to have this massive tank, and it's going to have an alligator in it.
I've learned a lot just being around LeBron. People say things about him all the time, but he would never say anything back. That's what I learned from him: Don't retaliate to articles or pieces or to things that are said about me.
I look at the N.B.A. as a job, a great job to have, so I think, for me, I would have loved the opportunity to go to the N.B.A. out of high school. If you're not ready, you're not ready. If you are ready, I think you should be able to go.
I enjoyed my time at L.S.U. I wouldn't change it for anything. My dad went to college - my sisters, brothers - so I felt like I just had to, and I enjoyed it.
I'll have time to mature and develop, and one day, hopefully, I can bring a ring to wherever I am. LeBron did it.
People say a lot of things about LeBron, but he just keeps having a good mentality and grinding. That's what I try to do, proving people wrong by what I do on the court.
