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'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.

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.

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

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

Owners want to make their team a winner so they can get more fans in the stands, and that's why they go after the best ball-players and pay 'em what they're worth.
