When I traveled through Greece in the '90s, everything [Albert Hoxie] taught me came flooding back and I was able to appreciate the art and culture much more because of him.

I had a moment like that with Wilt (Chamberlain). He knocked me out of bounds, I came back and faked him, came across the middle and dunked on him.

My biggest accomplishment has been making a transition from athlete to author.

I think the NBA players have to be held accountable in a reasonable way, just like any other professionals.

I always thought I could do a good job coaching, but the opportunities have not presented themselves.

The Lakers fans have been great, even folks in the supermarket are welcoming me back.

I'm not going to disappear.
