Goals determine what you're going to be.

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

When I get a chance to power jump off both legs, I can lean, twist, change directions and decide whether to dunk the ball or pass it to an open man. In other words, I may be committed to the air, but I still have some control over it.

If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end.

I live my life trying to never appear to be a small man.

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

They are taking steps, but they are baby steps.
