In jail I was just like everybody else, I was sitting there praying, feeling caged.

I'm nothing more than a sports slave.

I can't begin to describe the amount of crap I've taken for being a lousy free-throw shooter.

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

I go out there and get my eyes gouged, my nose busted, my body slammed. I love the pain of the game.

This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is.

Fifty percent of life in the N.B.A. is sex. The other fifty percent is money.

A player dreams of being a superstar, but he doesn't want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

Black culture is something I don't relate to much at all.
