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

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

People say my ego is grand. I think it's in proportion to me.

And I remember leaving my place in L.A. and - my father is a big fight fan - and I said, 'Dad, I got a couple of days off and I'm getting ready to go to Houston to sign to fight Muhammad Ali.

If you have ability in a certain area, why not capitalize on it and improve it and use it?

Everybody pulls for David, nobody roots for Goliath.

I get constant reminders from fans who equate that game and my career as one and the same.
