Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I've ever seen.

I guarantee you, if you could give me 10 points in all those seventh games against the Boston Celtics, instead of Bill Russell having 11 rings, I could've at least had nine or eight.

I couldn't have come close without my teammates' help because the Knicks didn't want me to make 100.

When you go out there and do the things you're supposed to do, people view you as selfish.

All of the sudden, my right leg caved in. I crumpled to the floor in pain. The doctor weren't sure I'd ever be able to play again...and even if I did recover physically, the psychological scars of so traumatic an injury might never heal.

I've prided myself on being in excellent condition-as good as any man in my profession. Now this doesn't come from sitting around on your rear end. This comes from hard, hard work.

They were willing to do anything to stop me.
