The Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving explains his “why” as a basketball player:

“I have a few why’s. It starts with my family, with me having two kids in the last two years – anybody who knows what two under two is in a household – some nights are filled with just being up and comforting. …

“I have my daughter who’s seven, so I’ve watched her grow up as well. … Also, just humanity. I’m a selfless servant of Christ, God, and I just genuinely believe when you put good energy out, good energy comes back. I’m just simplifying my life… “
