John Stockton is one of the true marvels, not just of basketball, or in America, but in the history of Western Civilization!

Right now, you know, it's not about the refs or anything else, it's about hitting first, getting on the run and never looking back.

Bill Russell was my favorite player of all-time.

I lived to play basketball. Growing up as a kid, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics were my favorite team. The way they played, the teamwork, the sacrifice, the commitment, the joy, the camaraderie, the relationship with the fans.

That's what makes it so fun to be on a team. You're sitting at your house, thinking up this wild, crazy stuff as to how it's going to go, and the other guys are sitting at their houses doing the same thing.

I love to play music. I'm terrible at it, but I love learning about it .

Without question, no hesitation, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the best player I ever played against.
