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

When handling the ball, I always would look for daylight, wherever there was daylight.

And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball, because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.

They are taking steps, but they are baby steps.

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

Every team that I've played on, I've either been the captain or co-captain.

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.
