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

Once I get the ball, you're at my mercy. There is nothing you can say or do about it. I own the ball.

What is love? Love is playing every game as if it's your last!

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and that's everybody's wish... I try to be a role model for black kids, white kids, yellow kids, green kids. This is what I felt was good about my personality.

It's absolutely wrong that I don't want guys to challenge me. And the people who say that aren't in the room.

I hate being out there with those garbage men. They don't get you the ball.

If I thought of the number of people who were watching me as I got ready to shoot, I?d miss it.
