I like being by myself.

I hate to lose more than I like to win.

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.

Don't let winning make you soft. Don't let losing make you quit. Don't let your teammates down in any situation.

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

I mean, the greatest athletes in the world are African-American.

Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
