In the game of basketball, I play first off because I love it. I love to have fun. I love to run up and down the court.

You sacrificed for us - you're the real MVP.

So many people doubted me. They motivated me every single day, to be, who I am.

I didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. I fell in love with it because I’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that I can be.

Whoever want my spot can play me one-on-one for it.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. You learn to appreciate these people.

First off, I'd like to thank God for changing my life. It let me really realize what life is all about. Basketball is just a platform for me to inspire people, and I realize that.

My dream was to become a rec league coach. That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to stay home and help the kids out and be a coach.

This city, all they want us to be is ourselves. You love us how we are. We’re all a work in progress as men and you still love us and I thank you so much for embracing us.

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

This means the world to me that you guys are here with me celebrating with me. Thank you. Thank you. I can’t express it enough.

Golf sits in that beautiful junction between perfection and frustration.

Anything devised by man has bureaucracy, corrpution and error hardwired at inception.

Nothing's ever entirely new. It's more a matter of what gets picked up from the past at each time.

...there were no guarantees in life, only promises and whispers.

Religions get lost as people do.

When I grew up there was no web, blogging or tweeting. In fact, where I grew up there was not even television! I met a lot of my friends in school and in college, and they are still my friends today.

I love to write - it is a great source of reflection, especially as I continue to meet many new inspiring people.

For should your hands drop white and empty All the toys of the world would break.

A man is an angel that has gone deranged.

For individuals, character is destiny. For organizations, culture is destiny.
