I know what I want to do. I'm just not ready to say yet.
This was a great team win. We scored just 12 points in the fourth and coach wasn't too happy with that.
We had one guy come up to us and tell us to go to another neighborhood and that these people could afford to pay, ... I told him, 'Why should they pay? They just lost everything.'
To me, Scottie is one of the most ultimate competitors to ever play the game, ... His defense was unbelievable. His defining moment as far as I'm concerned was not the years in the Finals. It was the year ('94) he led the team in everything. Michael wasn't here. He led the team in everything. To me, that was it. He was definitely one of the greatest all-around players ever to play the game.

I never felt I had the kind of relationship with Magic that I could just pick up the phone and call him at home.
Somebody tell the damn players to start playing like old school.
But I think anybody who believes I could force coach Sloan to resign is crazy. He's stronger than that and personally if I said that to him, he'd probably go tell me to go do something.
Look at this, scabs and cuts all over me, I get these every night, every game. They can't tell you that you're not at risk, and you can't tell me there's one guy in the N.B.A. who hasn't thought about it.
Forget the technique. Hit the guy across from you. Don't let somebody come in your space.
What excites me the most is when a coach calls a timeout and chews out his forward because I just dunked on his head.
I have my life on a track that I want it on, and I don't want to get off.
Lotta people don't know where Utah is but it in Salt Lake.
When we play the game like we're supposed to play it, it is pretty easy. Making the extra pass, making the simple play, it's not about between your legs, behind your back, and all of that, it's just about scoring the bucket.
