A rebounder, or a shot-blocker for that matter, is always at a disadvantage if he tells himself the only way he can succeed is by out jumping the guy next to him. Sometimes he will have to, but most of the time he will not. Most of my rebounds came from positioning, where I was able to get the ball while in heavy traffic.

The magic to a great meeting is all of the work that's done beforehand.

We couldn't sustain it. And they got a lot of kids that can shoot. We just couldn't close out well enough.

What distinguishes a great player is his presence. When he goes on to the court, his presence dominates the atmosphere.

I think that David Stern is probably the greatest commissioner that any sport has ever had in the history of this country.

People say it was the greatest individual rivalry they've ever seen. I agree with that. Let me assure you that if either Wilt's or Russ' coach had ever told one of them he couldn't guard the other guy, he would have lost that player forever.

We overreached our decision power. Sometimes our decisions have to fit the reality of the outside world.
