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

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.

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.

But the point of using the number was to show that sex was a great part of my life as basketball was a great part of my life. That's the reason why I was single.

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.

They were willing to do anything to stop me.

A big dog tends to be much more at ease with kids and gentle with them than a little one that's always yelping.
