There is a syndrome in sports called 'paralysis by analysis.'

I strongly believe the black culture spends too much time, energy and effort raising, praising, and teasing our black children about the dubious glories of professional sports.

We must reach out our hand in friendship and dignity both to those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.

I have always tried to be true to myself, to pick those battles I felt were important. My ultimate responsibility is to myself. I could never be anything else.

My potential is more than can be expressed within the bounds of my race or ethnic identity.

Someone once told me that God figured that I was a pretty good juggler. I could keep a lot of balls in the air at one time. So He said, "Let's see if he can juggle another one."

Life is like a tennis game. You can't win without serving.
