Bill Russell was my favorite player of all-time.
The offensive presence of Greg Ostertag is quite overwhelming sometimes!
Love is the single most powerful and important word and notion in culture and language. Until the power of love supersedes the love of power we have no chance of ever being successful.
I have nothing but respect for the Lakers. So many of their legends shaped who I am as a person and player.
My life changed irrevocably four-and-a-half years ago when my spine failed and collapsed. I spent two years on the floor, in excruciating, debilitating and unrelenting pain. I can only describe the pain as being submerged into a vat of scalding acid that has an electric current running through it. And you can never get out, ever.

Tracy McGrady is doing things we've never seen from anybody - from any planet!
