You can't throw a hook on the side of the road and expect to catch a fish in the grass.

You can't play Around the World in the NBA, you've gotta go to the basket.

I'm not a troublemaker. People say, 'You got into a lot of incidents.' Yeah, but it was on the basketball floor.

I just tried to go out there and play with attitude, doing what I was supposed to do and knowing my role on the team. Doing what my team expected me to do every night, not just once a week. It was all about work and I was just a tough guy who would knock somebody down.

I'm like a toll booth. Sooner or later, you have to come to me.

The public is usually slow to catch on to new things, and it's important that musicians stick to their guns and not look for that instant gratification.

To make theater out of real life, you need to catch dialogue when it happens.

One move nobody knows about, when I catch the ball on the wing and I'm driving, I'm looking at the defender's legs, and I'm yanking their legs back as I run by.

You would never catch me in a miniskirt.

Well, maybe surf one time; I think it would be fun to catch a wave just once.
