I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

The game has basically not changed since I ended my career.

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.

Even when there are adverse circumstances, I try to do my job. And I usually do.

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

OK, I'll put it like this: I doubt if we will see another All-American basketball athlete who is a Rhodes Scholar.

What I learned in my time isn't necessarily being taught now, and I'd like to help impart that knowledge to a new generation of players.
