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

You know when I played, you had me and Kevin (McHale) and some others throughout the league. I think it's good for a fan base because as we all know the majority of the fans are white America. And if you just had a couple of white guys in there, you might get them a little excited.

Maybe it's God disguised as Michael Jordan.

When I go to the line I'm thinking 'All net.' When I don't think that, I'm likely to miss.

I wasn't real quick, and I wasn't real strong. Some guys will just take off and it's like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.

I think a lot of blue collar people related to me because a lot of people work for their money.

Practice habits were crucial to my development in basketball. I didn't play against the toughest competition in high school, but one reason I was able to do well in college was that I mastered the fundamentals. You've got to have them down before you can even think about playing.
