When it gets down to it, basketball is basketball.

My opinion about basketball, the way I was taught, was when you step on the court, you play to win.

I can see why fans don't like to watch pro basketball. I don't, either. It's not exciting.

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.

If there was a payment to the bank due, and we needed shoes, she'd get the shoes, and then deal with them guys at the bank. I don't mean she wouldn't pay the bank, but the children always came first.

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.
