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

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

Sometimes I'm not even satisfied when I got 6 points and 22 rebounds, because I'm always looking to do more.

Death has always had a prominent place in my mind. There are times when I think somebody might kill me.

It's a different story because guess what, the kid is only 28 years old, 28. He's not his dad, not his grandpa. He's 28 years old.

I'm starting to see players copy what I do. I'm flattered.

Chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is 10, or something.
