The more you win, the better you're gonna get. It grows on itself.

I used to love the feeling of running, of running too far. It made my skin tingle.

If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it.

Maybe it's God disguised as Michael Jordan.

As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me - red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game.

The nature of competition is such that any number of people invariably have their eyes on the same prize you do. Recognize your assets and employ them to the best of your ability.

Strength is not nearly as important as desire. I don't think you can teach anyone desire. I think it's a gift. I don't know why I have it, but I do.
