I don't know what my label is. I just think of myself as a plain forward. I like to think I have some finesse to my game, but inside the paint is where men are made. If you can't play there, you should be home with your mama.

Forget the technique. Hit the guy across from you. Don't let somebody come in your space.

I have my life on a track that I want it on, and I don't want to get off.

I just work out hard enough that, if I'm craving something, I eat it and know I'm going to burn it off the next day with extra intensity

I can do something physically the other guy can't. I know the other guy has not dedicated himself the way I did.

When I said I retired from basketball playing, I have retired. You will not see me play again. That is a promise.

I have many friends and family members who have served (or are currently serving) in our nation's Armed Forces. I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out.
