I always try to keep a pretty conservative demeanor on the court.

So much of becoming a good athlete involves bringing other things to the table, other than physical skills. It involves intelligence, it involves many of the things that you learn during the process of being educated. How to analyze, how to assess, how to equate, how to reason.

I think that my God-given physical attributes, big hands, and big feet, the way that I'm built, proportion-wise, just made basketball the most inviting sport for me to play.

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.

I started playing professional basketball in 1971, and I played professionally for five seasons before going to Philadelphia.

I demand more from myself than anybody could ever expect.

Attitude is altitude.
