It’s crazy, I almost quit basketball when I was younger. Just all those things that I’ve gone through from a sports standpoint to having confidence — [my parents] had confidence in me, the faith in me before I really had it in myself.

And I always tell them, you know, ‘I’ll try to repay you the best I can, but you gave me the gift of life, so there’s nothing much I can do.’ — Trail Blazers shooting guard CJ McCollum
