Michael Jordan is God disguised as a basketball player.

The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me.

Anytime you've got an opportunity to play for your country and win a gold medal, I think that takes it all. That's the greatest thing you could ever achieve in your sport. So, I have been very fortunate to play on great teams, but the gold medal was probably the best.

It doesn't matter who scores the points, it's who can get the ball to the scorer.

Basketball was always a game to me. One of the greatest things in life for me was to be able to play what I loved dearly and get paid for it. So it was always a game to me and that's how I perceived everything.

I learned what my weaknesses were and I went out the next day to turn those weaknesses intro strengths.

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.
