Football linemen are motivated by a more complicated, self-determining series of factors than the simple fear of humiliation in the public gaze, which is the emotion that galvanizes the backs and receivers.

It took me a while to realize that basketball wasn't football.

After a few games I knew I was going to be able to compete. The idea of being a star never crossed my mind.

I was captain and should have set the example. I would lift a minimum of weights. Mine was natural physical strength. I always thought quickness and agility were much more important.

You are the land. The land is you.

I just wanted to be an athlete.

Nobody cared about swimming. You could draw a crowd for basketball.
