All children need their fathers, but boys especially need fathers to teach them how to be men.

I live by the motto, 'To whom much is given, much is required.' I know that people are counting on me. That's why I have to keep working hard.

Yeah, at first people were talking about me. But now everyone is wearing their clothes more fitted.

We play the whole summer. I do think guys should be compensated. Just like I think college players should be compensated as well. Unfortunately, it's not there. But I think it should be something, you know, there for it.

We go through life so fast and we never really get to enjoy moments. It seems like they go past us...Tonight I just wanted to take a minute, a moment and soak it in and be a kid from Robbins Illinois and be a kid from Marquette University.

Fatherhood is the best thing that could happen to me, and I'm just glad I can share my voice.

My biggest achievement - besides being drafted into the NBA - was becoming a father. Being a father has made me experience things that have contributed to my maturity and personal growth.
