I couldn't imagine not playing basketball. To me, basketball is what life is all about.

I mean, I'm 6-foot-11, I've got red hair, freckles, I'm a goofy, nerdy-looking guy, I've got a speech impediment-I stutter and stammer all the time-and I'm a Deadhead.

The Grateful Dead, they're my best friends. Their message of hope, peace, love, teamwork, creativity, imagination, celebration, the dance, the vision, the purpose, the passion all of the things I believe in makes me the luckiest Deadhead in the world.

Kazemi has to understand that nobody is going to tell him he has to go back to Iran if he misses a shot.

You look at Vladimir Radmanovic, this guy is cut from stone. As if Michelangelo was reading and a lightening bolt flashed before him.

Never forget - happiness ends when selfishness begins.

Chick Hearn was my favorite broadcaster ever - he's the one who taught me to think basketball, how to love basketball.
