I just loved being in the gym. It was tough at times. Sometimes I wanted to quit, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

First off, I'd like to thank God for changing my life. It let me really realize what life is all about. Basketball is just a platform for me to inspire people, and I realize that.

My friends are happy for me, and that's all that matters.

I was always in the gym. People would look at me crazy because I spent so much time there. But that's what it was about. I'm glad I did it.

Perry, Jeremy, Man, Just knowing that you guys look up to me, And I can help you out so much, I could pull you to the side when we're working out. And just as much as you think I'm making you better, You elevate my game.

I didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. I fell in love with it because I’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that I can be.

This city, all they want us to be is ourselves. You love us how we are. We’re all a work in progress as men and you still love us and I thank you so much for embracing us.
