The source of my power and strength is God, and I know it, without a shadow of a doubt.
With my responsibilities comes having to manage my time more efficiently.
You know, I have a responsibility to my team that if I'm going to be on the floor, then I have to make a difference.
I would venture to guess that if I was a construction worker... who requested a transfer to another department for the betterment of his family, I would be commended for it. But because it's sports, there's just so much passion added to it.
My parents didn't have the opportunities that my wife and I have now, from a quality of life standpoint.
My character has always been important to me. That was the one thing that I knew, no matter what, I had to hold that strong.
I really have to make sure that I'm staying true to who I am, and that I know my responsibilities to current N.B.A. players, to future N.B.A. players, to our past and retired N.B.A. Players.
