I started out as a football player. I liked to inflict pain. In basketball, it was the same thing.

I got into foul trouble, so I really kind of had to play on egg shells from there on out.

I'd heard stuff from out there that I was just another player, that I was too young. I wanted to show I could play with anybody.

That dude scored 8 points in the last 19 seconds, pulled out a miracle win at the Garden. He made me choke on a chicken bone that day. I'm serious.

I told our guys they must not have cable because Antoine Walker knows how to play, Derek Anderson can play, Shandon Anderson knows how to play, and Gary Payton knows how play.

I've been playing on Christmas for the last 10, 11, 12 years. So just got to get up early with the babies, and give them their toys and try to get a nap in and just come to play.

I'm very educated and can give you somewhat of a vocabulary, but I don't get to the philosophical side.
