I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

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

It makes me sick when I see a guy just stare at a loose ball and watch it go out of bounds.

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

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

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

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.
