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

Michael Jordan is God disguised as a basketball player.

I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me.

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

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 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.

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