Bill Russell helped make my dream a better dream because when you play with the best, you know you have to play your best.

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

I think a lot of ladies found me so attractive because I was different, and I acted on that in a way.

They were so clever finding ways to get me the ball. They had to do more than just give up open shots. They had to avoid fouls and pass me the ball in traffic.

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

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.

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.
