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.

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.

That's my tag, whether I like it or not.

We're all fascinated by the numbers, as we were about the 100 points.

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

It was a different sexual situation going on than it is in the '80s and '90s, and I did a very poor job of describing that.

It just wasn't right the way they were behind by 25 points and then they're told to hold the ball.
