I think black Americans expect too much from individual black Americans in terms of changing the status quo.

I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.

Today's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them.

When we went up against teams that were better, I just hoped that we could steal the victories.

I don't get a big charge out of being the leading scorer. The object of competing is winning. I just try to do what has to be done for us to win. That might be anything at the time - defense, rebounding, passing. I get great satisfaction out of being a team player.

High school dropouts are forfeiting their opportunity to pursue the American Dream.

During 1866 and 1922, Native Americans and black soldiers often intermingled in the American west, on the frontier.
