I was disappointed if I didn't have a chance to win a game, and if I had the chance and didn't do it.

There are many players who don't measure up to their marketability.

As you get older, every chance to win a championship is more crucial, because you are going to have less and less of them.

Personalities seem in many cases to dominate the lucrative endorsement market. But that doesn't upset me. What upsets me is when not enough attention is paid to the product-the game.

I was not a great ballhandler. I just worked very hard at it, and I got to be a good ballhandler-a competent ballhandler-but never a great ballhandler.

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.

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.
