The first year was hard for me to deal with. The second year was a little bit easier, but still difficult. It took me five years to get it out of me. It was a difficult moment, a difficult time.

It all started when I got injured early in my second season. This turned out to be as difficult emotionally as physically.

I want to be here for a long time, so I am going to do everything I have to do to be here.

There's Michael [Jordan], then there's the rest of us.

Magic is crazy. He is that crazy wild guy on the basketball court that is very intense and very serious. He is the guy who lives and eats and breathes basketball.

I grew up poor, but I didn't have poor dreams

If you want someone to be your mentor, you better be ready to listen and be humbled.
