I want my kids to have passion for life, to really have a passion for life. I think when you have a passion for something, you can overcome obstacles, if you float through life without having anything to hold on to or get you fired up emotionally and to focus on, I think it's really hard to overcome things.
When I think of my career, I can't help but think of the kid with his ball, falling in love.
My best memories are because I was on teams I love - even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.
I hope my kids learn to put themselves first.
It seems like my whole life I've been this little Canadian kid dreaming somebody would give me a chance.
If my career has somehow inspired or gained interest in kids across the country, that would be unbelievable to have that sort of impact.
