I've always tried to tell myself that the work itself is the thing, that win, lose, or draw, the work is really what counts.

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 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.

One of the commitments that I personally have now is to a diverse approach to buying businesses, and the operation of those businesses.

Many people think sports are totally physical, that you don't have to think, everything is done for you and you're catered to, I found that to be so far removed from the truth that it's almost a joke. The ones who become stars are the ones who have a head on their shoulders and know how to use it.

To be great we need to win games we aren't supposed to win.
