God blessed me with two unbelievable parents, and I am just like both of them. I have the smile and charisma of my mother and the big heart of my mom, because she wants to save the world and help the world, so I am just like her.

I tell you, it's funny because the only time I think about HIV is when I have to take my medicine twice a day.

It's a burden trying to keep a secret. It's hard. It probably takes more out of you trying to hold it and keep it than it does for you to really let it out.

To me, everything is wonderful. Life is wonderful.

Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.

Even as a fierce competitor I try to smile.

The looks, the stares, the giggles . . . I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read.
