JAE CROWDER

I play this game to win. I never in my life played to lose. I don't know what that feels like. I don't play like that.

I never put a ceiling on myself, I never put a ceiling on my teammates or my team.

I think with the whole revenue deal, everybody from top to bottom probably gets impacted by it. It's just a different era of basketball now with contracts and money. Teams being able to max out players as much as they can, that helps a team stack their team like Golden State.

It's a business with the coaches. It's a business with the front office. So I don't get too tied up if I'm appreciated by them. Because at the end of the day, my teammates are who I play for.

I play everything but point guard.

I don't like losing, man.

The best fitness and training advice has to be: Listen to your body.

I can't answer what coaches value me more. I don't really look for that answer. I look to see if my teammates accept who I am as a basketball player and as a person.

When your dad is your father, best friend and mentor, all in one, it's hard to explain what he brings. He brings confidence and self-awareness through my game, on and off the court. I'm blessed to have him.

I was the National Juco Player of the Year, so I thought I was a big shot.

Year 6 was the toughest one yet for me. That was the first time in my life I couldn't put my whole heart into basketball.

I enjoy being held accountable, I enjoy holding my teammates accountable and being someone that my teammates can depend on.

It's always good to have my dad there to support me. I know he's watching every game when he's at home. But when he's in the stands it's a great feeling.

I just like to win. No hard feelings, I'll still go eat lunch with you after, but I'll kick your butt and then have lunch with you. That's the kind of competitor I am.

What I can control is me playing basketball and how I treat my family and how I raise my child in the time that I have to spend on this earth. You know what I mean? I can't control what happens with trades.

Boston fans are pretty tough.

It's all a desire to win - to win the next game, to win the next practice, to win the next day.

You kick it up a notch when you work out.

As long as I've got the respect from my teammates, I'm able to come to work each day and I'm able to have fun with the guys that I'm on the court with.

It's a scary thing when a team don't know who to match up to, whose night it's going to be on the offensive end.

I'm going to stay in the gym, stay watching film, stay focused, stay being an all around professional.

I didn't want to be part of a tanking team. I just wanted to win and just work to be a good team.

No matter how big of a man I am and how big of a stage I play on, I'm always my mom's baby.

I make $7 million per year. I'm not going to be mad at a guy making $10 million. We're still millionaires.

My ultimate goal, really, is to win a championship. That's my ultimate goal no matter the statistics or how I do it or what numbers I put up in the box score.
