Every time when they would call my name I kept hearing 'New York Knicks' instead of 'Seattle SuperSonics.

People complain that pro athletes make a lot of money; but what they don't understand is that we need a lot of money because we spend a lot of money.

This means a lot. I'm being recognized for all the blood, sweat and tears I put into a 17-year career.

People think that just because you're a center, you're not as smart as the guards or the smaller guys.

I'm satisfied with the way I play, but I don't evaluate my performances. I worry about what I can contribute defensively. I don't need to score. As long as we win, I don't care how many points I score.

I wish I had stayed and finished my career here in New York.

I'm just like any person who is coaching in this league, I'm just looking for an opportunity, that's all.
