I went to my first show [of the Grateful Dead], got right up front and never left. The incredible excitement, the family, the spirit, the hope, the happiness, all the different things I love and live for in life are there. The joy, the optimism, the teamwork, the experimentation, the exploration, the curiosity. No band has inspired more artwork, no band has inspired more books. No band has ever inspired a more loyal following and I'm involved in all of that stuff.

No one missed more basketball in the history of NBA than I did. I played 14 seasons, on the roster for 14 years, and I missed more than nine-and-a-half full seasons.

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

When you find yourself talking about less and less and forgetting the love that you bring, never forget there are things you can replace but others you can not.

The passions I have in my life are my family, music, books, I'm an avid plant collector, and I love to ride my bike.

Never rank, rate, or compare coaches, children, concerts, or championships or congratulations. Just enjoy them all.
