I wasn't used to the attention, I wasn't used to having money, I wasn't used to being the main focus on an NBA team.
I think if Yao Ming was on my team, we'd probably have a 100 percent chance of winning an NBA championship.
It's an honor. It's tough enough just to make an All-Star team, but when you're able to be a starter, it just says a lot about being pretty much one of the faces of the NBA because the fans pick you.
I was the bridge between the Michael Jordan era and LeBron James era.
Not a game, not a game... practice.
I'm going to always be a Sixer til I die.
I thought we'd be discussing about me not leaving Philadelphia and they just kept asking me about the practice, so I lost it.
In 2001 we didn't have all the talent in the world, we just had me on offense and just a bunch of tough ass dudes, and a great coach in Larry Brown.
I am the MVP and I gotta worry about the trade talk.
I want to return to the NBA this season, and help any team that wants me, in any capacity that they feel that I can help. I'm disappointed.
I dont want to be a point guard, or a two-guard, I want people to think of me as "creative", I just want to create on the court.
I wasn't a bad guy. I just wanted God to give me a second chance.
I see kids today trying to do the things I did, and it makes me feel like I've come a long way.
When I was a little kid I used to go on the playground and say: today I will shoot like Bird, pass like Magic, jump like Mike, be quick like Zeke. I am thankful to them, since without seeing them do things they did, I wouldn't be in the NBA.
