When people ask me what I miss most about the game, it's being in the locker room and getting to know the guys. Back in those days, we had roommates. We had to talk basketball and that was a great way to understand the game itself and form those lasting relationships.

I have been involved in music since 1972 when I started managing two artists from The Jimi Hendrix Band. My family has been involved in music for years, so it's kind of in my blood. I just wish I could sing!

The game of basketball is one thing, but the image of the game is another thing.

Baltimore was like a small town when I got there - the Colts, the Orioles, guys like Frank Robinson, we all knew and respected each other. Everyone would cross paths at one point at Lenny Moore's Sportsman's Lounge, trading stories and having some fun.

Guys have to look up to somebody. Everybody needs to have their own role and somebody has to be the star.

Jamal Crawford reminds me the most of myself, the way he goes to the basket. But they need leadership.

Sport is the only profession I know of that when you retire you have to go to work.
