The NBA is all politics. It's about who you know.

There's so many kids in the world who are told, 'You can't do this, you can't do that.' Those are all put-downs. I'm all about pick-ups. You have to pick people up and pay it forward.

Nobody really doubted me playing football, making it to the NFL. I was like, 'I know I can do that.'

Our goal was to start at the top with the NBA and work our way down.

I've seen my mother struggling, everything that she did to raise me and my brothers and my sisters, and I know the anger that she went through.

I don't have a great imagination to share something with you that you don't know, so it's about interpreting things - a dialogue.
