And I continued to grow until I was 25 years old.

At age 31, in 1981, I was voted the best player in basketball, and the most valuable player in the league.

When I played, the owners had the power. The prisoners are running the prison now, not the warden. The warden is strong and he has say so but, the balance of power is definitely with the players.

If you're not doing what is best for your body, you are the one who lose.

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.

Teachers are sort of faced with a thankless task, because no matter how good they are, unless they find a way to personally rationalize the rewards of their effort, nobody else is really going to do it for them en masse.

I am very proud to be featured, especially when you consider the outstanding champions who have had this honor. It is great company to be in.
