I applaud the professional athletes using their platform to voice their opinions.

I've been privileged to coach a lot of great people, high-character guys, and I don't think I've ever coached a better professional than Joel Anthony.

I was raised in a home where we grew up where we discussed issues. I've always been really politically aware. My wife and four kids are very aware. They make me more attuned to a lot of things I would not think about. Especially women's issues.

Athletes have the same rights everybody else does. If there is a strength in our democracy, it's that we are encouraged to exercise those rights and speak out and hold people in power in check.

This game is obviously about failure. You're going to fail most of the time. It's how you handle it.

I've been with some great teams and had good wins and great success at certain periods of time in my career.

There are people who can achieve huge success in life, while adding a bit of fun and a splash of colour to this increasingly grey world.

I'm as talented as they come. I would have success in any era.
