If you're a basketball player, you've got to shoot.

It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.

You see what happens in college and high school games today - a three-point shot or a dunk. I think that's the reason that you see a lot of that in the pros today.

I don't know hardly any of the players who have the in-between game like me, who can go to any position on the court.

Look, I think you should promote the game, but I think you should make it what it ought to be. Not some kind of a side-show.

When I started playing, I wasn't fast, I was gangly, my jumpshot was terrible.

Just because it is an All-Star Game doesn't mean that you are playing as efficiently as you should.
