I'm the baddest among the bad guys.

All the courage and competitiveness of Jackie Robinson affects me to this day. If I patterned my life after anyone it was him, not because he was the first black baseball player in the majors but because he was a hero.

I think people that are, you know, voting in the blind are doing a disservice to America by not being better informed.

My most memorable moment came in 1985 as we beat the Boston Celtics.

The first time I shot the hook, I was in fourth grade, and I was about five feet eight inches tall. I put the ball up and felt totally at ease with the shot. I was completely confident it would go in. I've been shooting it ever since.

Alexander Hamilton realized that warfare was part and parcel of human nature, and it's something we had to prepare for.

There's a ball. There's a hoop. You put the ball through the hoop. That's success.
