I think I started learning lessons about being a good person long before I ever knew what basketball was. And that starts in the home, it starts with the parental influence.

The ones who become stars or superstars are the ones who have a head on their shoulders and know how to use it.

When I went to Philadelphia I was 26 years old and really sitting on top of the world. Family life, a professional career, plenty of friends and associates, and a good reputation, a wish list that could be the envy of many.

The key to success is to keep growing in all areas of life - mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical.

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

As a kid, I played a lot of one-on-none.

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