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

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.

The disconnect lasted too long. I think people got the idea I was sullen and couldn't communicate, which wasn't true.

I don't really care who's doing drugs in the NBA as long as the scene isn't adversely affecting my team and teammates. I've known enough drug users-going as far back as grade school and the streets of New York-not to view them as pariahs or lost souls. I've certainly smoked more than my quota of weed.

I felt that a number of people might have questioned my loyalty, but I continue to be a patriotic American.

I would suggest that teachers show their students concrete examples of the negative effects of the actions that gangsta rappers glorify.
