I would never say anything about [James] LeBron because I know how much he means to the community; I know how much he does in the community, which is honestly 100 times more than your average athlete.

I was taught that justice is a right that every American should have. Also justice should be the goal of every American. I think that's what makes this country. To me, justice means the innocent should be found innocent. It means that those who do wrong should get their due punishment. Ultimately, it means fair treatment. So a call for justice shouldn't offend or disrespect anybody. A call for justice shouldn't warrant an apology.

I honestly think there's people who just perceive me different.

They want everything to be better for their children. I think athletes are starting to see that and that's why they're starting to speak out.

Shame on me, for me to have this platform and me to have this opportunity to stand up for something that I thought was unjust, and I passed on it. I can't do that.

As you get older and as your situation changes, it becomes different. Yes, I have to provide for my family, so if there's a chance that I'm not going to be able to provide for my family, who is always number one, my kids are always number one, then yeah, maybe it's not the same. But like I said, everybody's boiling point is different and you get to that point differently and you're at peace with it.

I was willing to put it at risk in order for someone to gain, in order for the situation to get better.
