Black culture is something I don't relate to much at all.
I only weigh 220, so I have to do something to keep from being tossed around by all the guys who weigh 250 and more. I train hard, but I don't try to get too big.
I lost $35,000 in less than a week at the Mirage in Las Vegas.
I understand what rappers are talking about. I think rap is less about educating people about the black community and more about making money.
These people didn't know anything about black people, so the only thing they could imagine was the worst thing.
I'm trying to find new ways to make this game more attractive.
I've got to give Larry Bird his due; he was a great player. He knew the game and he was smart.
The doors fly open when you're a professional athlete.
I'm the basketball version of a gravedigger.
Why should I try to make you believe the things I believe in?
The people at the top of the league think they need to rein me in so I don't become another Michael Jordan, somebody they aren't able to mold and shape and make their puppet.
There's more impact if you burn somebody with your eyes, look straight into him and let him know with a look.
The one thing I do that nobody else does is jump three and four times for one rebound.
With me, everything's right on the table.
