Vince "They're only a few guys who have been to more training camps than me: Kobe, Steve Nash, KG"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

Vince "I hope (people appreciate my scoring) the high flying is over." Gets a pretty good laugh from the media.

Vince, if you'd been watching the Grizzlies for the past couple of years you'd be aware that people around here are used to getting buck-wild crazy over non-high-flying scoring. *See Marc, Mike and Zach -- they've probably combined for less than 100 total dunks since they've been in Memphis.

Vince "To get to play at this age at a high level, it's a dream come true"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

To get to see you play at this age at a high level (for the Memphis Grizzlies) is a dream come true, amiright?

Vince on signing with Memphis "Getting that call (in free agency) to come play for this team for that long, sign me up"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

Vince "I get to opportunity to come play here with an established team"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

: )

Vince on the Grizz "These guys are legit"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

Vince "I'm going to take the initiative to fit in while still being who I am"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

"Initiative to fit in" -- that is awesome. VC proactively seeking his role for the Grizzlies should help the team find that hot start that everyone keeps talking about.

Vince "I enjoy being around young guys who want to learn; who want to get better"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

Vince on Quincy having a poster of him above his bed when he was younger "A couple of guys told me they did"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

There's probably a few gals around FedexForum who did as well.

Vince "I pride myself on making the game easier for everyone else"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

Vince "I'm willing to scale back my game e for the goodness of the team"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

I have a feeling that scaling back Carter's game won't really be necessary this year unless some of the other wings start catching fire.

Vince on Beasley "Unbelievable athlete. He really knows the game. He should be in the league"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

Vince on Beasley "The game is so easy for him. I'm hoping he's willing to open up and listen"

— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014

Me too Vince, because there's a certain teammate of yours whose playing time I'd love to see him siphon off.
