“I feel I've proved I can rebound, block shots, get steals and pass the ball, too.”

“I never went to the Sonics and asked for more money. I didn't ask for another dollar.”

“You don't work your butt off for 90 yards of a 100-yard dash and then just quit.”

“I only take one ball and one day at a time, and if you think like that, you don't feel pressure at all.”

“The first time I was onstage, I felt like the audience was breathing with me. I don't know if I was good or not; I just knew I was having a ball, and for the first time, I felt I belonged somewhere.”

“The system! The whole stinking ball of wax. It's a scam!”
