If you get depressed about being the second-best team in the world, then you've got a problem.

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

My role models in the business were the older guys on my team when I first got there: Gray Scott, Adrian Smith, Roland Taylor. These were the guys who took me under their wing, and really schooled me in terms of what the business was about.

Because of the makeup of the NBA, it cannot afford for the public to turn on them.

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

The biggest thing that I felt basketball could do for me was help me get a good education.

When the crowd appreciates you, it encourages you to be a little more daring, I think.
