The only reason people are saying I'm the number-one player is because I'm with the number-one team.

I was on the playground all night. I ain't never go to parties or nothing. I'd get out of school at 3 and be out there playing until one in the morning with one streetlight. For real.

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.

I figure a lot of folks are probably looking to find out if Moses Malone is into that stuff, but the closest I come to drugs is drinking a Coca-Cola. I don't want that cocaine; it's not for me.

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.

Seems like everybody wants to know if an athlete is on drugs, so you got to stay clear of wild people.

When the ladies see an athlette walking around, they think, Well, he got the cocaine, so let's go get high with him.
