People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that.

I was supposed to be in the NBA. I was supposed to travel the world and make the world a better place.

I had a lot of negativity growing up, so I understand how to block the negativity out.

You really can't please people. I know everybody's attention is on what I'm doing on the floor.

I'm really thankful to be alive. If you get to know me, I'm a person that's always smiling and always joyful and I've been that way since I was born because of the struggles I went through. I was supposed to be number eight that died so I'm always thankful.

Basketball has brought me a lot of joy, brought me a lot of good things. Just that side of it has really affected me.

I've been on the side where you have nothing, and now I'm on the side where anything I want is there for me. When I didn't have the means to do whatever I wanted to do, I still had peace.
