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.

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

Nothing means more to me than helping my team win.

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

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

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.

Life for me outweighs the game of basketball.
