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

I started playing ball when I was 13 and a half. Before that, I just wanted to play football and baseball but I kept growing so I figured it was time for basketball.

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.

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 figure a lot of folks are probably looking to find out if Moses Malone is into that stuff, but the closest I come to drugs is drinking a Coca-Cola. I don't want that cocaine; it's not for me.

I'll always be Number 1 to myself.
