I played on an all-black high school team and we didn't want people saying that we were clowns.

When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.

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

You have to teach now - tell a kid how to box out, tell him how to pass, teach him footwork. Players don't understand that anymore.

The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don't know, these guys today don't want to do anything like that.

When I came into the league, once a team drafted you, they owned you forever. If they didn't like the clothes you wore, or the car you drove, they could blackball you.

People will think there are no other great ballplayers. Look at Garnett. Look at Duncan, Shaq, Kobe. Look at the players with Sacramento. The have a really good basketball team.
