I like to describe my life as a black hole with a little light out there.

My feet are like gnarled old tree branches.

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

I spent money, I slept with women around the league, but I always kept my mind on the game.

The one thing I do that nobody else does is jump three and four times for one rebound.

I don't feel anything when I watch Shaquille O'Neal play. I don't feel anything coming off him.

Why it's been left to me to smooth things over, I don't know. Dennis Rodman, of all people. Keeping us safe is really not my job; it's the black guy's [Obama's] job. But I'll tell you this: If I don't finish in the top three for the next Nobel Peace Prize, something's seriously wrong.
