I've got to give Larry Bird his due; he was a great player. He knew the game and he was smart.

I've been homeless. I've worked at 7-Eleven.

I'm the basketball version of a gravedigger.

The only time I'd played organized basketball was my sophomore year in high school, when I barely made the junior varsity team.

I thought it was pathetic: The league just decided that Grant Hill would go right to the top.

People are threatened by me. Rich white, rich blacks, it doesn't matter.

For years the league has thought I've been on drugs. I would have burned out a long time ago if that was true.
