It's kinda great to see the Celtics doin well again cuz that was so much fun in my day to go to the Boston Garden and they spit at you and throw things at you and talk about your mom. It sounds like dinner at Kenny Smith's house.

People always say he can run and he can jump. So can a deer and you wouldn't put a deer in the game.

I think the biggest problem is parents are so concerned with being friends with their kids. You're not their friend. You're their parent.

Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we're never going to be successful not because of you white people but because of other black people.

Look, I'm in the top 20 of players who ever lived.

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.

It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.
