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.

No team works out teamwork.

I love football. I'll watch the NFL before I watch any NBA.

I think that work has been the key for me. Just like they say shooting will become easy if you just keep working at it, well, I love the dribble game-that brings excitement to the game.

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.

I think the biggest thing I've learned is to not really worry what people will say or think about what you wear. You have to wear what feels good on you, what you feel comfortable in. And I've just learned to not really care.

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