My message is simple: take control of your life
People always say he can run and he can jump. So can a deer and you wouldn't put a deer in the game.
I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.
The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.
You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right.
The meek may inherit the earth, but they wont get the ball from me.
If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.
I just thank God for Dennis [Rodman], cause he makes me look like a saint.
The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.
I'd never buy my girl a watch... she's already got a clock over the stove.
I'm just what America needs: another unemployed black man. (on his retirement from basketball)
This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.
I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It.
