An athletic scholarship shouldn’t be the best opportunity to receive a quality education.

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.

The one thing about basketball is that it continues to evolve and I love it so much. It does so much for me in my life. I've played on every level and I've been fortunate enough to be around greatness on every level.

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.

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.

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.
