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.

Your mind is what makes everything else work.

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

I hope to be involved in a successful movie script.

I needed to go to class; I needed to go to practice; I needed to have a life away from basketball.

Michael Jordan and Magic and myself, all learned how to play the game in college programs that emphasized the team.

I was a baseball fan myself, I wanted to play baseball.
