I will try just about all the folk food we go to in any place.

I was a power dunker. I want to go straight up, put it down on somebody. I want everybody under there.

You gotta try something people ain't seen before, and you gotta go to the gym and work on your dunks. In a slam dunk competition, don't show up with three dunks. You got to have eight or nine dunks because if you get into the finals and two guys may do the same dunk or one guy does the dunk better than the other.

I know what I want, but I'm not allowed to pick a favorite.If I was to say one guy, that guy would be feeling like 'I got this,' and I want everybody to have a chance.

For years, people always say, "Ah, what about the dunk. It's still two points." But it energizes a team. If you're down and you get a monster dunk, everybody gets psyched. "Oh yeah, let's go, let's go." So it was dying down a little bit and guys, I think, they took it upon themselves. They got energy on it and started trying different stuff.

I think I got hooked up because I try to do good things with the NBA, and they always want somebody who's notable and who's personable with people.

I got hooked up with the NBA Nation and the next thing I knew I was judging the Sprite Slam Dunk Showdown. They needed somebody who can travel on the weekends and go up to eight different cities.
