I'll always be Number 1 to myself.

When I was 15, they changed the playground rules because I was dominating everything and blocking everything that came my way.

I'm conservative with my money. I'm the one who's got a family and I can't be playing basketball forever, so when I retire, I want to live on what I've made.

I don't talk to reporters, because they're gonna write what they want to write, so let 'em write what they want to write.

I started playing ball when I was 13 and a half. Before that, I just wanted to play football and baseball but I kept growing so I figured it was time for basketball.

To be a great offensive rebounder, you have to think like a defensive rebounder and battle for position while also being in the flow of your offense. And then it's just being determined.

I never thought I was the best; I just thought I was one of the best.
