Those Grizzlies are more like pandas.

I was asked for years about being a Republican, probably because most black people are Democrats. My mother heard it once and called me and said 'Charles, Republicans are for the rich people.' And I said, 'Mom, I'm rich.'

Hey Steve, no offense, but if you couldn't shoot, there would be no reason for you to be alive.

I didnt wear the pink panties because I didnt want America going crazy with excitement.

If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.

I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.

The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.
