“I think you really have to become a parent to understand what you will endure to be there for your kids.”

When I was in college, I actually had them change the starting lineup to say ‘from Robbins, Illinois’ instead of ‘Chicago, Illinois.’

For home games, I bring my clothes to the arena. I bring two different outfits that I can pick after the game. Road game, I got to wear what I walk in with.

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.

How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.

Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming ‘Hairspray.’ It’s so weird because I grew up watching her.

I find that my upbringing in the Church and my relationship with God are huge benefits to me in helping me become the kind of person that I want to become.

Historically, the stuff of the universe goes on becoming concentrated into ever more organized forms of matter.

Through fidelity, we situate ourselves and maintain ourselves in the hands of God so exactly as to become one with them in their action.

The public has become my fairy godmother.

I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.

It will be a great accomplishment if I become the best player in the world. But if my children can grow up with great core values and become great people and do good things and are happy, then, man, that would bring me great joy.
