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 fighting against becoming soft. That's the worst thing you can say to a basketball player.

I didn't want to be known as Madonna's playboy, her boy toy.

The Spurs couldn't put everything aside and just play the damn game.

I understand what rappers are talking about. I think rap is less about educating people about the black community and more about making money.

Larry Bird is overrated in a lot of areas. ... Why does he get so much publicity? Because he's white. You never hear about a black player being the greatest.

Everybody's talking trash these days, so why not keep quiet?
