I've discovered new parts of my manhood, places I couldn't get to without loving someone else unconditionally and putting others before myself.

The source of my power and strength is God, and I know it, without a shadow of a doubt.

I would venture to guess that if I was a construction worker... who requested a transfer to another department for the betterment of his family, I would be commended for it. But because it's sports, there's just so much passion added to it.

Basketball used to be my top priority.

Fatherhood will put a man through a lot, but it's a tremendous job, the best in the world - even better than playing basketball.

I am and always will be a leader.

I am not a passenger in anything I do.

I don't feel like basketball is the only way to make a living.

I don't know how many people feel strongly about what I do.

I feel like I'm capable of doing so many things to help people around the country and the world.

I have people that I'm close to that give me things to read throughout the season, and in particular in the playoffs and the postseason.

I'm not chasing money, so I'm not looking at just trying to stretch out a deal artificially just to have a certain number.

Life for me outweighs the game of basketball.

My character has always been important to me. That was the one thing that I knew, no matter what, I had to hold that strong.

My parents didn't have the opportunities that my wife and I have now, from a quality of life standpoint.

Nothing means more to me than helping my team win.

Nothing prepares a family for having multiple children at once.

Teams are often pretty clear about what they can do or are willing to do.

With my responsibilities comes having to manage my time more efficiently.

You have to work hard at things.
