Danh ngôn của A. J. Green (Sứ mệnh: 6)

When I was a kid, I used to be like a professional juggler in training. That's funny, right?
In elementary school, I didn't even play sports, I was just straight up on the juggling team. I started out with the floating scarves. Then I went to tennis balls and all that. Then by like the fourth grade I was doing the Chinese yo-yo. And I was good, man. I was like a master Chinese yo-yo person. I was top five Dead or Alive in South Carolina.
My mom worked at Walmart for 33 years straight. Thirty-three years! Day in and day out.
My dad? He worked at a steel plant over in Charleston. Night shift. Nine at night to nine in the morning, no joke.
I respect all my opponents.
I have two brown boys I have to raise and I have to teach them the inequalities that being a black man comes with. That's a tough conversation to have with a young kid who doesn't see anything, who's always sheltered, who can get anything he wants, who's going to go to the best schools but at the same time he's a black boy and his dad is black.
Everything that I've done in my life is always I wanted to be the best in everything I do. I want to be the best husband, the best dad, the best receiver.
I always show loyalty to the people who gave me a chance from the get-go, and Cincinnati gave me that chance.
It's about respect and the morals and the value of life. And treat people how you want to be treated. That's the biggest thing I was brought up on from my parents.
As an athlete, our platform is so high. A lot of people look up to us. So if they see us doing something positive, it can change the world.
