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.

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.

I would hope that racism is something that just does not work in this day and age, but I know otherwise.

I'm just ultracompetitive. I will be till they put me in the grave.

I enjoy winning, but more importantly I enjoy the people I'm around.

The marketing of players has created untold wealth for many sports stars. You can't blame them or the company that covets the relationship with them, but that doesn't mean the player is good.

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?
