I always wanted the ball in my hands with a game on the line, as I think any real competitor does.

I don't live in the past. And besides, there are too many times in my career to remember specific events, because I played so many games.

When it's time for me to walk away from something, I walk away from it. My mind, my body, my conscience tell me that enough is enough.

I always wanted the ball in my hands with a game on the line, as I think any real competitor does.

I don't really want to go into my problems with the team at the time except to say that no one's ever had to pay me to play basketball.

You can't ever totally know what's inside of someone else, or see the kind of will someone like Magic has. You have to rely on your instincts to find people who hate losing and know how to win.

When time is running out and the score is close, most players are thinking, I don't want to be the one to lose the game, but I'm thinking, What do I have to do to win?
