Our centers spread the floor, shoot the three and block shots. We can play pick and pop.

Professional athletes die twice.

I simply want to be remembered as a great competitor and a great teammate.

My best memories are because I was on teams I love - even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.

I think it was wishful thinking of me to dream of being an NBA player. And once I made the NBA I dreamed of being an All-Star, but I never dreamed of being an MVP.

My father was a soccer player. All my friends played basketball though, so I stuck with basketball.

I used to collect hockey cards. It was like Vegas at my school. You'd go to school with your box of cards, and at recess and lunchtime there were all these games we'd play.
