Jackie Robinson, as an athlete and as someone who was trying to make a stand for equality, he was exemplary.

Ken Heitz got drafted by the Bucks the same year I did. He went to their camp just for the experience, then dropped out to attend Harvard Law School. I always admired his combination of athleticism and brains.

I feel that there has been progress made since I was a boy on matters of race, but we have a long way to go.

A lot of players think the game is all about individual performances when it's really all about a team game.

I think I did very well against everyone who tried to defend me.

The saying, "Those that don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it" doesn't just apply to politicians and world leaders, it applies to all of us on a daily basis.

A lot of young players don't really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about, especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork.
