Nothing prepares a family for having multiple children at once.
Teams are often pretty clear about what they can do or are willing to do.
With my responsibilities comes having to manage my time more efficiently.
You have to work hard at things.
Nothing means more to me than helping my team win.
My character has always been important to me. That was the one thing that I knew, no matter what, I had to hold that strong.
My parents didn't have the opportunities that my wife and I have now, from a quality of life standpoint.
I have people that I'm close to that give me things to read throughout the season, and in particular in the playoffs and the postseason.
The source of my power and strength is God, and I know it, without a shadow of a doubt.
I am not a passenger in anything I do.
Life for me outweighs the game of basketball.
I don't feel like basketball is the only way to make a living.
Basketball used to be my top priority.
I've discovered new parts of my manhood, places I couldn't get to without loving someone else unconditionally and putting others before myself.
