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.
Charles and I go back since college. None of us thought this would happen, we just wanted to play basketball. This is the highest honor that can ever be paid, and it's mind-blowing.
Asthma research is a lot better and new medicines are always coming out to help young people.
As long as they are medicated the right way with the asthma medicine they won't have any problems.
Bernard King is the only guy that ever scared the hell out of me.
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.
I think it goes hand in hand because if you discipline yourself on the floor, as you become an older player or a more seasoned individual, it adds structure in your life.
