Whenever my body heals and the pain and all the swelling goes away is when I'll be ready.

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

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

Everybody always thinks the grass is always greener.

I positively, positively, positively want to play. I've got everything else so why not a gold medal? I want to play.

If I want to average 32 points a game, I can do that easily. It's just eight, eight, eight, eight. No problem. I can do that anytime. That's not being cocky. That's confidence.

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