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

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

I had a moment like that with Wilt (Chamberlain). He knocked me out of bounds, I came back and faked him, came across the middle and dunked on him.

The constant expansion has diluted the talent. Other than that, it's still the same game.

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

You got guys now declaring they're ready to play pro ball in their second or third year of high school. It's crazy! They're missing so much.

I didn't really seek attention. I just wanted to play the game well and go home.
