When I get a chance to power jump off both legs, I can lean, twist, change directions and decide whether to dunk the ball or pass it to an open man. In other words, I may be committed to the air, but I still have some control over it.

If you've experienced having control, you don't want to be moved to a subordinate position, if you have your druthers.

But you know, we have a very normal family. We've had our ups and downs. You know, we've had our issues, but we've had great cause for celebration.

Goals determine what you're going to be.

The first professional game that I ever played remains, to me, the most exciting moment of my professional career.

I think I was chosen by basketball, although I never really physically got drafted to any team that I played for.

Right up until the time I retired at age 37, I felt like there were still things that I could do better.
