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.
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.
He'll never be Jordan. This clearly takes him out of the conversation. He can win as much as he wants to.
It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.
Man, everything gets blamed on the Clintons, every single thing in this world. I think Bill Clinton shot JFK, too.
Everybody in the world has an ego. The only difference between us is we have a reason to have an ego.

I'm still going to Disney World.
I don't listen to the refs. I don't listen to anyone who makes less money than I do.
I don't get into the gun stuff. Some guys have guns who go hunting. Where do we stop (the gun control) at? I'm not a hunter, but we can't say people can't have guns.
We're just playing basketball. It's not like we're going out to have unprotected sex with Magic.
