One of the reasons why I enjoy college basketball a little more is because of its team orientation as opposed to individual orientation.

My mother and father stressed education and always made sure we had a place to study and books to read.

There were times my immaturity kept me from being all I wanted to be.

I'm concerned that young people, far too often, abdicate their responsibilities of learning and adapting and give that over to people who may not always have their best interests at heart.

I'm not nearly as much of a fan of the NBA as I was maybe 10 or 15 years ago, or certainly as I was when I was a player. It's become more entertainment focused, and less focused on the purity of the game.

I'd like to be remembered as somebody who persevered, who in many ways overcame, who recognized the importance of giving back, particularly to our youth, and as someone who tried to reach back and to catapult the next generation beyond him.
