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.

Kenyon Martin is the 2nd best player in the Eastern Conference.

I believe in science and evolution. I've been to the Grand Canyon.

I could smell colors, I could feel sounds.

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

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

I'm mainstream. Always have been.
