I don't mind being a professional. As an athlete you are a role model, people are watching what you wear, listening to everything you say.

You never get what you deserve; only what you have the leverage to negotiate.

I Hated Duke. I Felt Like They Only Recruited Black Players That Were Uncle Toms.

I really like Rafer Alston. We get along great. We have a lot of fun times together that I can’t share with you guys.

Name 12 players better than me.

Even bad teams have optimism. You don't want to take away the optimism so early in the season. The Bad News Bears coach wouldn't even tell (his team) that.

If someone can learn from my experiences, grow from them and take it to the next level or to learn what not to do, that's almost a civil responsibility for your peers but also for those that follow you, support you and don't get a chance to come behind the curtain so to speak.
