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

I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.

Before even Court Grip, I just wanted to be a part of a brand that I felt that listened to the athlete and really catered to the athlete, and gave us what we were looking for.

Being a leader is one thing I've never felt comfortable with. It's not my nature.

When I got my first check I was thinking my mother and father didn't make this probably in their lifetime. It's real amazing that some of us are just blessed.

I look forward to the challenge, but most importantly, I look forward to the opportunity to do what hasn't been done that often, in a sense. Michael Jordan obviously has done it, but that's it.

Players are ready to play, We're not on strike. It's a lockout.
