If you ain’t putting the people around you on and giving them the strength, confidence, courage, beliefs, and love to be GREAT then what you here for!

I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!

As athletes, it’s no longer just about being the strongest, fastest, toughest, it’s so so so important to take that time for your mind and mental well-being.

I’m a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.

I told my wife she looks sexy with black fingernails. Now she thinks I slammed the car door on her hand on purpose.

Black culture is cool, but black issues sure aren’t, huh?

You cannot act a color. Do not tell me I’m acting black, because I’m not. I’m acting whatever you want to call it – urban. I don’t even have a name for it. I just call it ‘me.’
