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.

Larry Bird is like a basketball god to me for what he's done for my career.

Lies don't matter, ... There's no merit to it. It's kind of hard to entertain foolishness when it has no merit.

Nobody wants to be a bottom feeder and deal with the reality that you have one of the worst records, if not the worst record, in the league.
