When I was young, I never wanted to leave the court until I got things exactly correct. My dream was to become a pro.

You're all playin' for second place.

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

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

I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it.

Coaches can talk and talk and talk about something, but if you get it on tape and show it to them, it is so much more effective.

When I was a kid, like 14 or 15, I played with the waiters from the hotel, 'cause that was the best game. And these guys, they'd let me play. And they were black guys.
