I enjoy money. You got to know how to enjoy it, though. A lot of people enjoy it the wrong way: They spend it all.

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

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

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'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.
