You know what I like to do? I love waking up early, making them breakfast, taking them to school, having time in the morning with them. With six kids, it’s like a reality show.
Allan Houston Quotes
Seven years ago, my father and I realized that our relationship was extremely unique, especially in the African-American community. He raised me to not only understand the fundamentals of basketball and to try to be a player with a high basketball IQ, but he wanted me to understand that my image and my name meant more than stats.
