Preseason is just a way to screw fans out of money.
I never would say a player stinks. Ever. I'll tell you their team stinks, and first of all, they know their team stinks. And the fans know their team stinks.
I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
This place? Nothing positive. OK, I want to say something positive. It's positively a dump.
If a guy drew a charge on me, I tried to kick him in the balls.
I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan.
I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.
You can talk without saying a thing. I don't ever want to be that type of person.
Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter's old enough to take care of that herself.
I like to help poor people who got no chance. If rich people don't, who will? Not other poor people, that's for sure.
I'm really disturbed about the gay marriage thing. Because I think gay people should get married, cause it's their own business ... Because as a Black man, I think you've got to be against any form of discrimination.
I just wish all these young black kids would realize how significant it is to stop acting a fool out there, killing each other, not getting their education. You know, people have died to put us in a situation to be successful.
I got pulled over when I was behind the wheel of a Porsche in Philly once for what we call DWB - Driving While Black.
Yeah Ernie, its called defense, I mean I wouldn't know anything about it personally but I've heard about it through the grapevine.
