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

At 9 years old, I moved in with my father because my mother could no longer care for me.

Being a father is an everyday challenge. It goes on and on.

Whenever I feel like I’m getting too far away from where I need to be,

I’ve been blessed to be one of those guys who’s looked at as a fashion-forward type of guy.

Anytime an artist puts your name in a song, it’s unbelievable. It never gets old.

I was probably a terrible husband, but I pride myself on being a good dad.

It’s always a dream to be on the cover, it’s one of the things an athlete always aspires to do, to be on the cover of a videogame, but I never thought I would get to do it this quick.

All children need their fathers, but boys especially need fathers to teach them how to be men.

I’m the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, ‘What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?’

I love to sing some Beyonce – ya know, like ‘All the Single Ladies.’ I’ll sing that – maybe not with the body shakin’ – but I’ll have a little bit of the hand movement going on.

I don’t think the world focuses on the positive things enough.

It’s about taking advantage of the opportunities you have right now, and right now we’re in a position where you call somebody and they’re willing to pick up and take the call because they’re a fan, you have to take advantage of that and have a chance to capitalize on your ideas.

I understand that I’m not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that’s happened to me, good and bad.

The biggest thing, and what I told some of the partners in the summit, was me thanking them for their constant support with everything that I’ve been through the last couple years on and off the court.

I’ve been successful in different areas, but nothing brings a smile to my face more than my oldest son, Zaire, and my second son, Zion, saying the kind word of ‘Dad.’

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

You train hard and I’ll train hard, and may the best man win, and good luck to both of us.

I will do my best, and I promise I will give this guy a fight, and I have to win this fight.

To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won’t be here long, so don’t get too attached.

You never help others by allowing them to getaway with giving less than their best efforts.

Sometimes the best way to create balance in your life is to realize you don’t have to do it alone.

The best time for gum is just before getting onstage. I need a minty-fresh microphone.

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

Nobody makes me do anything I don’t want to do. It’s my decision. So the biggest devil is me. I’m either my best friend or my worst enemy.
