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

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

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.

Play the game with a smile.

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

I think that any time you're able to get a guy like Carmelo Anthony to be on your team, you're going to be a step up.

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.
