“Any time the ball goes through the basket, and it’s going through consistently, it’s demoralizing for any opponent.”

I grew up in Chicago, and I understand what Michael Jordan symbolizes.

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.’

Any man who makes a speech more than six times a year is bound to repeat himself, not because he has little to say, but because he wants applause and the old stuff gets it.

I know for a fact that I’m problematic. I shouldn’t be looked to for any kind of guidance.

Prayer is work. The experiences of many children of God demonstrate that it accomplishes far more than does any other form of work. It is also warfare, for it is one of the weapons in fighting the enemy. However, only prayer in the spirit is genuinely effectual.

In high school, there are so many cliques. You’re never safe.

Real faith has perfect peace and joy and a shout at any time. It always sees the victory.

The sight of any trouble strikes terror into the heart of those who do not have faith, but those who trust Him say, ‘Here comes my food.!

I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.

My goals are so high that I don’t have time to relax in any way, shape or form.
