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.

Villains are kind of hard to really know on a personal level when you see them as mean, unsensitive-type people.

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.

It was a challenge to my teammates to help me.

He fouled out in the fourth quarter, and that's when I really started getting points. He was no more at fault than anyone.

My thing I liked was to challenge guys that were smaller, guys that were supposed to be quicker. Because I think self-consciously I was trying to prove to people it wasn't just my height that was getting me across in these various sports. It was some other intrinsic things that I had that made me a good athlete.

Everything is habit-forming, so make sure what you do is what you want to be doing.
