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

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.

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 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 am and always will be a leader.
