My Father... He was there when I didn't understand, he was there when I was wrong, he was there when I cried, he was there when I lied. For some reason my dad was always there, when I needed him the most. His love was never ending. And now that he's gone there is an emptiness in my world, but not in my heart.

The best evaluation I can make of a player is to look in his eyes and see how scared they are.

I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.

When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.

It's a habit of mine now, noticing labels, logos, shoes.

Confidence allows you to progress in something you're attempting to accomplish, whether it's playing basketball or baseball or whether it's trying to succeed in business.

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.
