Get to know Pistons forward Anthony Tolliver!
- "The favorite moment of my pro basketball career was playing in the 2010 game in which Don Nelson became the NBA's all-time leader in wins. I started the game for his team, the Golden State Warriors, and scored 34 points, which is still my career high."
- "My hero is my mother, who sacrificed so much to give her family a better life. She was a teacher in Missouri for 30 years."
- "The greatest embarrassment of my life came from stealing an NBA trading card from a friend. The player on the card was David Robinson. When my mom found out, she made me apologize to my friend. I never stole again."
- "I don’t have hate in my heart. I’ve never even been in a fight. I’m a calm guy. That’s my nature."
- "In childhood and in college, my nickname was A Train."
- "I met my wife Jessica at Creighton University, during freshman orientation. We became friends, and the rest is history."
- "I put my first pro paycheck in the bank and let it sit there. During my rookie season the only thing I bought was a Chrysler 300."
- "Steph Curry is the person I most admire. Success hasn’t changed him. He’s so humble and such a good guy."
- "Jesus and Martin Luther King, Jr. are the historical figures I’d most want to meet."
- "My pet peeve is Internet trolls, people who talk trash on social media."
- "I don’t talk trash. On the Pistons, KCP is hands-down the best at it."
- "The talent I most covet is the ability to sign. If I could use sign language, I’d sign R&B music."
- "I’d like to die in bed at age 90, lying next to Jessica. We could go together, I guess. That is, if she’s up for it."
