A lot of people understand what not saying anything means, so, in effect, not saying anything is really saying a lot.

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.

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.

A huge Chinese population here in... Houston.

I'm a fan and a friend, I met them in 1974 when I first joined the NBA and my life has never been he same since. I became the basketball player I was because of the Grateful Dead.

We grew up without a television, so we constantly had music playing in our house.

Growing up, my parents were very, very strict. And then I went to UCLA with John Wooden, who was just off the charts.
