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

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

The people at the top of the league think they need to rein me in so I don't become another Michael Jordan, somebody they aren't able to mold and shape and make their puppet.

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

The NBA believes if you play for a team and get paid by a team, you're the property of that team for 24 hours a day.

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

I want to do for rebounds what Michael Jordan did for dunks.
