I'm going to always be a Sixer til I die.

I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.

I thought we'd be discussing about me not leaving Philadelphia and they just kept asking me about the practice, so I lost it.

When you are not practicing, someone else is getting better.

My whole thing is, if you love me, then love me. If you don't, then believe what you hear and run with that.

When I was a little kid I used to go on the playground and say: today I will shoot like Bird, pass like Magic, jump like Mike, be quick like Zeke. I am thankful to them, since without seeing them do things they did, I wouldn't be in the NBA.

We got to stop people. We go ahead and we score 100 points every night, but we give up more. Our whole thing was, we know we can score, and we have to start having some kind of fun on the defensive end. Everybody want to play offense. Not too many people want to play defense. Defense is ego, pride, and that's the way we've been coming out, just taking the challenge. Man-on-man first, and having each other's back when a guy gets beat.
