No matter how great a coach he is, there comes a time when it's not working. They shouldn't be this bad. The players are tuning him out.
They haven't killed me yet. Check the small print on the ticket. You're here at your own risk. I've seen better players then me hit people.
Look, I'm in the top 20 of players who ever lived.
I’d rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can’t play.
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.
The most underrated player in NBA history is Dominique Wilkins. Right behind him is Gary Payton. He never has gotten the respect he deserves. If he doesn't spend the rest of his days in Seattle, I hope he goes someplace where he has a chance to win a title.
He just hasn't played well. He can not play well.
The difference in the playoffs is you're playing against a good team every day. You're not playing one good team, then two bad, then two good ones. The one thing that I learned in my 16 years is that you might take a glimpse of tape before games, but (in the playoffs) you sit down and go over tapes every single day from game to game. . . . That's when you find out who can really play and who can really coach.
I'm not a role model, ... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
It's something we thought about coming into the Olympics, but it's not something we thought would happen. I just feel bad for all the families involved.
I'm glad he's getting his due. I was fortunate enough to play against Dominique in college and the NBA, and I'm glad he's getting his recognition.
If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.
serious and sensitive issues such as race and education.
They can't beat Detroit, first of all. But they aren't athletic enough, they don't guard, they have trouble with athletic people, the guards especially.
