As a basketball fan, I get sick and tired of people talking about numbers. To me, the world is getting too materialistic.

Me and Penny are going to be the Kareem and Magic of the '90s.

I'm the first player in history that doesn't want to play defense and still gets in foul trouble.

No matter where they put people, no matter how they try to promote people, there aren't too many people in the game today that are on my level on and off the court.

My father made me who I am. He gave me a basketball and told me to play with the ball, sleep with the ball, dream with the ball. Just don't take it to school. I used it as a pillow, and it never gave me a stiff neck.

If he wants to get that next contract, he's going to have to go to the New York Athletic Club three times a day and just ride the bike.

My message to little kids who aspire to be anything they want to be is to listen to their parents.
