One time, I put up 40, 50 points dunking on Shawn Bradley. After the game, he brought his family over. He was like, 'This is my wife. She wants to take a picture.' I'm like, 'Nice to meet you.' I smile into the camera, take the picture, and then feel guilty about dunking on him so many times.

Thank God I had two parents who loved me enough to stay on my case.

Dampier is soft. Quote it, underline it, tape it and send it to him.

He could be dominant - if he played in the WNBA.

I had orders from the great Bill Russell. Me and him were talking in Seattle the other day, and he was telling me how rivalries should be. I asked him if he ever disliked anybody he played against, and he told me, 'No, never,' and he told me that I should shake Kobe Bryant's hand and let bygones be bygones and bury the hatchet.

I don't see anybody, in any conference, that can shut me down. Any conference, anywhere in the world.

I have orders not to come back until I'm a thousand percent.
