I'm a playmaker, and I'm going to score. At the end of the day, my job is to put the ball in the basket.

My job, my whole life, I've always had that kind of doubter, people have always doubted me. And I don't know how I would succeed without it. So I welcome it, and it gives me a challenge, and I will see if I can live up to my challenge.

My priority as a father should always remain first. My kids look to me as their example. Every decision I make and everything that I do always has to come back to the question, Does this make me a better father? Will my kids benefit from this? It's no longer just about me…but about my kids. My perspective in life has changed.

If someone wears something you like, you make comments on it. And if someone wears something we don't like, we make comments on it, too. That's just what guys do, what teammates do. Besides that, we don't really compete in that space.
