Just be patient. Let the game come to you. Don't rush. Be quick, but don't hurry.

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.

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

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

Basketball for me has always been a matter of rhythm - what you do bouncing the ball, how you bounce the ball, how you run, how you receive the ball to be in rhythm.

I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn't even start playing basketball until I was 14.

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