I believe greatness is an evolutionary process that changes and evolves era to era.

People say they wish they were Michael Jordan. OK, do it for a year. Do it for two years. Do it for five years. When you get past the fun part, then go do the part where you get into cities at three a.m. and you have fifteen people waiting for autographs when you're as tired as hell.

I just feel that my competitive drive is far greater than anyone else that I've met, and I think that I thrive on that.

Playing sick. That is so hard to do. It has to be a total mental challenge, as well as the physical challenge.

All I wanted to do was to improve, to keep getting better.

Gambling is legal and betting is legal, for what I bet.

Basketball isn't just about the bright lights, packed arenas and highlight reels. Basketball is a way of life. Basketball is a relationship between you and the ball, you and your teammates. If you love the game, nobody can take that from you.
