I wouldn't say there is one guy that I would say patterns himself after me.
I bleed and breathe Hawks. Even when I played for other teams I felt funny, because I was a Hawk.
Well, (Michael) Jordan was definitely one of the kings of the game. There's no question that he was one of the more dominant figures. If you look at the top ten players of all time, he was certainly one of the most dominant guys.
The 50 greatest players don't matter when you're in the Hall of Fame. We all know that I was not one of the 50 greatest, I was one of the 25 greatest - in my mind.
Nate Robinson has a lot of jumping ability, but I don't see Josh losing.
Michael was a rare breed. There's no question about that. He did things that a lot of players could never do, and still to this day players can't do those things, so the honors that he's had are definitely deserved.
First off, do everything they can to give their kids the opportunities to play sports; asthma is not a deterrent to playing sports.
Asthma research is a lot better and new medicines are always coming out to help young people.
I was an all-around player - if I was just a scorer, there's no way the Hawks would have won 50 games four years in a row.
I like the South because of the people. They are loyal. Once they love a team, they're fans forever.
Like I said, when you have to play against a great player every night, that defines who you are if you can compete on that same level night in and night out.
People came to the All-Star Game to see the dunk contest.
I only dunked maybe twice a game on average.
But I think role models also start in the home with your parents.
