It changes over the course of life, depending on how you're feeling. There's this incredible catalog of different songs, so it depends on what you're hoping for, what your dream is and that song will come on.

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

At 49, I can say something I never would have said when I was a player. I am a better person because of my failures and disgraces.

I grew up in an non-athletic family, where my parents were interested in music, in literature, in education and art.

[Peter] Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" was my first go-to song in terms of getting into the zone and getting ready and then I quickly gravitated to rock and roll music in the mid-'60s with the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Beatles, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Rolling Stones, Carlos Santana. So many of them are still around and still going strong. I go out to see them all the time.

In basketball, you can be the greatest individual player in the world and still lose every game, because a team will always beat an individual.

I'm a lifelong stutterer.
