“First and foremost, thank you to the man above. Without his blessing, without his honor, I wouldn’t be standing here today. Thank him. I’m very, very blessed to be in the position I am today, so I’m very appreciative of that.
“First, I want to thank the organization. Mr. (Clay) Bennett, Sam (Presti), coach (Billy Donovan), Weav (Troy Weaver), coach (Maurice) Cheeks, I appreciate you guys believing in my, drafting me No. 4 when nobody thought that was a great decision, so I definitely appreciate that. I’ve got a long list of people in Oklahoma I want to thank. I want to thank all the film guys, all the team doctors, the trainers, the massage therapists, the strength and conditioning staff, the equipment team, the front office, the business office, the chefs, the support staff at the arena, at the building, the PR team, just everybody in Oklahoma City that helped me to go out and compete at a high level every single night.

My guys, man. Obviously, all of the guys they’re not here tonight, but these are my brothers, man. These guys sacrificed so much for me throughout the year. It was obviously an amazing season for me, but without these guys, the rest of our guys that’s not here, none of this would be possible. This award is not for me, it’s for all of you guys, and I’m very, very thankful to have you guys in my corner. You guys are my brothers for life, and I just thank you guys and love all you guys, so thank you.

“And lastly, I want to thank my family. Without you guys, I don’t know where I would be. I can’t be standing here without your support, your sacrifice, everything you’ve done for me, starting with my parents. Let’s give them a round of applause, please.
“My parents … man. You guys did any and everything to make sure me and my brother had anything we wanted. I told myself I wasn’t gonna cry but …
“I can’t say thank you enough. You guys sacrificed everything. Pops, OG, working two jobs, getting me up at 4 in the morning, waking me up, every night going to the gym, shooting hoops outside, staying up late playing the video games. … To my mom doing everything to keep our family together. I’m truly blessed to have you as my mother. You’re so amazing. I couldn’t be able to do none of this without you guys. I can’t say thank you enough. There’s so many things I could say about you guys for putting me here. I’m just thankful for having you guys in my corner. I love you guys.
“To my little brother, my roll dog. You mean so much to me. You’re my role model. I look up to. I truly look up to you. You’re amazed and blessed. I’m so happy to have you as my brother. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. A lot of you guys may not know, but my brother just got his masters two weeks ago. I’m so proud of him, not just for that but the man he is today. He lifts me up every single day. My brother, he texts me every single game at halftime. Every game. Since I’ve been in the league he texts me every game at halftime. He don’t got to do that, but he does that because he’s got a kind heart and he looks out for me. I love you from the bottom of my heart, brother. I promise you I appreciate everything you do for me. I love you brother.
“Lastly, my beautiful wife. Since Day 1, meeting you 2007 back in UCLA, I knew you were special. You make me go. You hold me down. You keep me in check through good and through bad. You make sure I’m on the right track and I’m so appreciative of you because so sacrifice so, so much for me every single day and I can’t thank you enough. As a wife in this league, to be able to sacrifice some of the things you sacrifice and everything that you do, I can’t put it in words and describe how thankful I am to have you in my life. You’ve blessed me with a beautiful son that I’m so thankful for. You continue to make me go. Every time I come home I just, regardless of a good or bad game, every time I see your face I just smile. It does nothing but brighten me up. I just want to say I love you and I thank you for everything you’ve done for me thus far. You’re the best wife a husband like me could ask for and I love you, Sugar. Love you very much.
“Everybody in this room, I want to thank all you guys for coming out. Thank everybody at home. I couldn’t thank everybody, but thank all you guys. People that have helped me along the way, I’m very appreciative of all you guys and you guys have a great night. Thank you again. I appreciate it.”
