If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.

When you're black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It's a dirty, dark secret; I'm glad it's coming out.

All I know is, as long as I led the Southeastern Conference in scoring, my grades would be fine.

I just wish all these young black kids would realize how significant it is to stop acting a fool out there, killing each other, not getting their education. You know, people have died to put us in a situation to be successful.

I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.

Being black or white isn't an accomplishment. What you do with your life - or what you accomplish with your life - dictates what you should be proud of.

Everybody in New York thinks the Knicks are Playboy bunnies, and I have been telling them for years the Knicks are a rabbit. They're closer to a Playboy bunny this year but for the last few years these guys are like, 'We have a really good team!' And I say, 'You really think that?' And I say, 'No, they don't.' But this is the best team they've had in a while.
