My name's been on this check for a week now.

But it is a black man's game, and it will be forever.

Strength is not nearly as important as desire. I don't think you can teach anyone desire. I think it's a gift. I don't know why I have it, but I do.

I just shoot until I feel good.

I can see why fans don't like to watch pro basketball. I don't, either. It's not exciting.

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.

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.
