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

People might get mad for five or ten minutes, but then they respect you more. And the next time they see you, they'll tell their friends, "Don't go up to him with that stuff - he don't mess with cocaine."

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.

People got to realize that the owners who been paying me are a lot richer than I am. It's not like I was born rich; I had to play basketball to make this type of money.

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

Reporters don't know me, because I don't talk to them; I just talk to the players.

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.
