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 came up in a small town ghetto and I never did think I'd be a celebrity or famous athlete, I was just loving to play the game of basketball. And I worked hard at everything I did.

I've always just wanted to play ball, that's all. I didn't want to do no interviews, because I didn't want to be bothered with reporters.

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.

I'm never gonna try it, because you got to pay a lot for cocaine, and that's not the way I want to spend my money.

When I retire, I wanna be able to just lay back. Only way to make it happen is to be investing my money, not spending it.
