Kyrie Irving

I've been in front of the universe, and it's been in front of me, and it's always been about me. And I'm just here to be a vessel for the universe, to be a vessel for greatness.

I do not talk to you guys, I don't really know you guys. I don't care to know you guys. No offense. So, my attention is on what I have in this locker room.

I'm not here to be liked. I'm not here to be appreciated. I'm here to be me, and I'm here to play basketball.

When I say I'm an artist, I'm literally an artist. The way I play the game, I feel like I'm creating something every single time I step on the floor.

I believe in the power of the universe. I believe in the power of energy. I believe we're all connected.

I'm a free thinker. I like to do my own research. I like to come to my own conclusions.

I just want to be happy. I just want to be free. I just want to live my life the way I want to live it.

I don't need anybody to tell me who I am. I know who I am.

I'm a spiritual being having a human experience.

I just want to be around people that are going to uplift me, that are going to inspire me, that are going to challenge me.

I'm just trying to figure out who I am as a man, and then I'll figure out who I am as a basketball player.

I'm not a fan of the media. I'm not a fan of the narrative that's being created.

I'm just trying to make the world a better place, one dribble at a time.

I'm just trying to be the best version of myself, every single day.

I'm not afraid to be different. I'm not afraid to stand out.

I'm just trying to live in the present moment, and enjoy every single day.

I'm just trying to be a good human being, and then everything else will fall into place.

I'm just trying to be a light in the darkness.

I'm just trying to inspire people to be themselves.

I'm just trying to spread love and positivity.
