“When you have kids, they are the consistent things in your life. They don’t change no matter what’s going on. They love you. They are more honest than anybody will be.”

The biggest thing is to let your voice be heard, let your story be heard.

A turtleneck is about sophistication.

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.

I grew up in the inner city of Chicago, and then I moved to Robbins, and it kind of raised me.

You play a certain way for so long, and change is good. So I look forward to change, and I look forward to playing with the proper talent that we were able to put together.

I supported Obama because of his relationships. A lot of the things he believes in, you would say that it’s not in the best interest for someone in my tax bracket, but it’s not about that. It’s about him making the world better and making it equal and even all around, and that’s what I’m supporting when I supported Obama.

Fatherhood is the best thing that could happen to me, and I’m just glad I can share my voice.

A Tom Ford three-piece makes you feel so confident, it’s bananas.

No team works out teamwork.

Looking back, I now see so many similarities between my own childhood and that of my sons. My father stepped in when I needed him, and that gave me the chance for a better life. That’s what I’m doing for my boys now.

The thing is, I don’t do these things for recognition, being a good teammate, being a positive member of the community. I do them because those things make me whole and complete.

The biggest thing is to make sure that when something comes out about you that is false that you prove it’s not true.

Yeah, I play a lot of point guard. LeBron plays a lot of point guard. A lot of people are thinking too much on positions.

The Miami Heat floor is great, but a lot of them are not.

When you’re healthy, you can do so many great things.

I’ve decided to listen to my doctors and get the procedure I need on my knee. USA Basketball said I had to do what was best for me. They want me to be obviously as healthy as possible so I can continue to play this game at a high level.

Kids will remind you that, even though you’ve gone down a road 100 times, it’s brand new for them – and that’s healthy.

I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.

When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.

I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.

I loved listening to laughter even as a little kid.

Teasing and a sense of humor, if you can develop that in your kids, and if you can exercise it with the kids, just makes for a pleasanter atmosphere.

My dream is to be World Lightweight Champion in the UFC. Have more money than I know what to do with. And have a great life for my kids, grandkids, and everyone in my family.

I want to be financially secure by the time I have kids.
