A team will always appreciate a great individual if he's willing to sacrifice for the group.

When I was a kid, no one would believe anything positive that you could say about black people. That's a terrible burden.

I just like seeing the world, and it doesn't matter where.

I've always tried to stay out of the fray and not be an object of controversy.

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.

I have been coaching recently. I coached high school basketball in Arizona, and I hope that more opportunities become available.
