I'm never embarassed.

Everything gets blamed on the Clintons, every single thing in this world. I think Bill Clinton shot JFK, too.

I don't worry about playing basketball; that comes natural. I just want to have fun. David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan: this is like spring break in the ghetto.

Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny.

See, my hope and dream is that people have a good time watching basketball. It's not church. It's not serious.

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.
