The locker room has to be right. We've got to be patient to build this team.

I grew up in Chicago, and I understand what Michael Jordan symbolizes.

Every morning when I wake and every night when I go to sleep, I'm thinking about what I can do to become a better father and a better person.

I grew up in the inner city of Chicago, and then I moved to Robbins, and it kind of raised me. When I was in college, I actually had them change the starting lineup to say 'from Robbins, Illinois' instead of 'Chicago, Illinois.'

Every time I look at my children, they remind me to work harder and become a better man.

I realize that you have to be careful sometimes what you wish for.

I don't think the world focuses on the positive things enough.
