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

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

It's been a journey, the NBA. It's taken me a lot farther than I ever expected.

My coach told me, "Larry, no matter how much you work at it, there's always someone out there who's working just a little harder - if you take 150 practice shots, he's taking 200." And that drove me.

I think you have to work very hard and dedicate yourself and have the respect of your teammates before you're about to go out and just try to take a game over by yourself.

While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course.

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