You watch some teams these days and you wonder if they just met on the playground and decided to choose up sides.
I don't trust what this life has given me.
I went from five foot eleven to six foot eight, and the more ball I played, the more I caught on to the game.
When they gave me that trophy, bro, I cried.
Wherever there's money, there's drugs, so to say drugs don't exist in the NBA would be stupid.
When a high-profile personality lives like I do, everybody thinks that person is fated to die young.
I'm going to come out and tell it like it is.
I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.
I don't fit into the mold of the NBA man, and I think I've been punished financially for it.
The NBA believes if you play for a team and get paid by a team, you're the property of that team for 24 hours a day.
The life I was leading was changing me into someone I didn't even know.
The Bulls talked to just about every person who ever met me.
My rookie year, I was very immature.
My feet are like gnarled old tree branches.
