I want to continue to take steps forward.

I always remind my kids that hard work pays off. That's how I got to where I am right now because of sacrifice and the work I put into it.

Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.

My upbringing involves individuals who helped me along the way. I don't think I would be here today without that support.

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

Chicago is a beautiful city. It's one of those places that people around the world see and say, 'Maybe one day.' There's so much excitement in the city about what you can accomplish and what you can be. We get this stigma, and rightfully so, because of the killings, but it's one of the best cities in the world. I'm biased, but I think it's a great city. Not only to be from, but to go to.

Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.
