We had a strong relationship with Walter Brown, and felt that he was the best owner in the league.

Back then every small town had a gym, and if itseated more than 2,000 then we'd be interested in playing in it.

I once heard that Paul Seymour said as much as winning an NBA Championship, he'd like to see the Celtics lose a game after Auerbach brought out the cigar so he could go up to Arnold and stuff the cigar in his face.

The NBA wasn't a big deal at that time, so it wasn't really in my career plans.

Indiana gets credit for having the most rabid basketball fans in the union, but Maine is a very, very active basketball state.

We played every night. Sometimes we'd stay overnight after a game, but we'd usually drive on to our next destination.

We hung out on the streets, played stickball, and did all of the things that other kids did.
