“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.”

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.

Yeah, at first people were talking about me. But now everyone is wearing their clothes more fitted.

I’m happy that I can focus on my body a little bit. I’m not happy to get surgery, but I’m happy that I can focus on getting better.

I am very happy to be here in the NBA.

We always reference kids but very rarely ask their opinion.

I just try to get through my to-do list, with my kids’ homework being at the top of it, and then try to prepare for the next audition or whatever scene I’m shooting next. Balance.

When I was a kid, I read comics. But when I saw how funny it was, and how wonderfully absurd, I said, “You know, I gotta do this.”

And show up in a place I never thought I’d ever be and have kids in the same room singing these songs I’d written so far away. To me, that’s so surreal.

I’m not going to lead my show talking about my kids, but will I perhaps mention my five-year-old swimming?

Remember kids, I have life insurance.

I sponsored every team in the Park Slope Little League for years.

I learned at an early age that I could make the things that I wanted.
