If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.

My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes.

Excellence isn't a one-week or one-year ideal. It's a constant.

The NBA is the strongest professional sports league in the world. The league and the game is bigger than any one person, Michael Jordan included, and they always will be. I hope that today players, especially our young players, continue to recognize that simple fact. Nothing is more important than the game itself and the fans who support it.

Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

I do not have a problem, I enjoy gambling, but I think people are trying to make it seem like I have a problem, because people really don't know.

I want to be the bridge to the next generation.
