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.

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

I'll always be Number 1 to myself.

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

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.

Seems like everybody wants to know if an athlete is on drugs, so you got to stay clear of wild people.
