It was tough getting fired by the NBA. I really didn't know where I was going, until [ESPN] called me. I said, "Hey, 'ESPN?' Never heard of it. It sounds like a disease." Now I have that same disease as a sports fanatic. All this sports madness we didn't have years ago, now I'm very blessed and fortunate to be part of it.

Looking back, I remember telling my daughters that we didn't have money, pizzazz and a lot of the things we have today, but we had so much love and we lived like millionaires.

Life is simple. Make good decisions and good things happen. Make bad decisions and bad things happen.

It is time for everyone to sit down -the NCAA, the NBA, the players union and the coaching fraternity-and come up with suitable solutions to these problems.

You'd have to live in a cave not to know about the Carrier Dome. It put Syracuse on the map.

I'm living the American dream.

A winner is someone who can look in the mirror at the end of the day and say in pursuit of my goal and dreams I gave my best.
