Success means being satisfied with what you do every day. It's being proud of the better person you are becoming.

I'm happy that I can focus on my body a little bit. I'm not happy to get surgery, but I'm happy that I can focus on getting better.

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.

My life is bigger than basketball.

You've got to respect the game and you've got to respect what the people that have played have done for the game.

My priority as a father should always remain first. My kids look to me as their example. Every decision I make and everything that I do always has to come back to the question, "Does this make me a better father?" "Will my kids benefit from this?" It's no longer just about me…but about my kids. My perspective in life has changed.

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.
