You don't win championships by just being normal, by just being average.

Never forget - happiness ends when selfishness begins.

I'm a different person today than I was yesterday. I live for the moment and everything that happens in my life changes me.

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.

My relationship, my friendships with Grateful Dead, has shaped me. Our house is a shrine to all our musical heroes.

We can never thank David Stern enough. His vision to use basketball to improve the quality of our lives to make this world a better and saner place, that guy, is the most important man in the history of basketball.
