I understand that I'm not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that's happened to me, good and bad.

You know, 10 years ago I never thought I'd be in this position. It's a dream and I don't even know if I dreamed this big.

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

I think people have had the understanding for many years that whatever happens with the separation of parents, that the kids automatically go to the mother. The fathers don't know their rights.

When I come home, I'm not a basketball player, but "dad". While everyone sees me as an NBA player, to my boys, I'm just "dad" and that's very important.

I'm just a kid in a candy store right now, trying to have fun. I'm getting a chance to show my ability and my talent.

Never give up and take nothing for granted in life.
