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

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 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 never thought I'd lead the NBA in rebounding, but I got a lot of help from my team-mates - they did a lot of missing.

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'll always be Number 1 to myself.
