Somebody tell the damn players to start playing like old school.
Did you really think I would sell you out?
I never felt I had the kind of relationship with Magic that I could just pick up the phone and call him at home.
He's hard-nosed, ... He's great with his players, too. A lot of the things that I do come from him. If you've got a guy who can shoot, you bring him off screens. And if you've got a guy who can dribble, you do the pick and roll.
He's fun to watch and listen to and I am thrilled about finally getting the opportunity to meet him personally.
Starting off my career, I wasn't a good free throw shooter, and I worked at it and worked at it, and now I want to go up there and shoot free throws, and now... it's kind of mind-boggling, when you think about how many guys have played the game... when I finish playing and I look back on it, I think it'll be huge. Right now I'm still playing the game, it's kind of tough to really stop and think about it.
I was in ankle-deep water for 18 years, never took a dangerous step, content as hell,
We had one guy come up to us and tell us to go to another neighborhood and that these people could afford to pay, ... I told him, 'Why should they pay? They just lost everything.'
Charles, I lost the bet.
If I got something to say or do to a man, I'm going to look that man in the eye and tell him what is going to happen. That's just me now
I just work out hard enough that, if I'm craving something, I eat it and know I'm going to burn it off the next day with extra intensity
Marijuana is not tested for, and yet that is the big thing guys are getting in trouble with in the league. It's terrible
I realize that things happen for a reason
I can do something physically the other guy can't. I know the other guy has not dedicated himself the way I did.
