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.

My goal was just to try and be the best player on my high school team, and look where I am now. And that was still my goal as a young kid, just to try and be a little better than my brother was.

I'm a firm believer in that you play the way you practice.

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

The best basketball announcer is one who allows you to close your eyes.

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

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.
