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

I'm trying to find new ways to make this game more attractive.

I go out with white women. This makes a lot of people unhappy, mostly black women.

The Bulls talked to just about every person who ever met me.

A player dreams of being a superstar, but he doesn't want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

Karl Malone's too high-class for a bum like me.

These people didn't know anything about black people, so the only thing they could imagine was the worst thing.
