Change Quote by Domantas Sabonis
“Off the court, it's not very natural. I'm more of a quiet guy, but I have to change it a bit and become a little more vocal off the court because a lot of my teammates respect me, and I have to show them, just like I do on the court, that I'm someone who can be there for them.”
