To catch the ball, face up, look at all of my options and then pass. I was playing hot potato. I didn't want to be the guy to stall the triangle.
I'm hunting for little Mexican girls.
When I said I retired from basketball playing, I have retired. You will not see me play again. That is a promise.
Isn't it about time that we stopped wasting so much time on what a person prefers?
At some point in time I will be honored if I would be mentioned as a coach.
I spent a lot of time doing things other people wanted me to do, so I'm doing what I want to do now
When we play the game like we're supposed to play it, it is pretty easy. Making the extra pass, making the simple play, it's not about between your legs, behind your back, and all of that, it's just about scoring the bucket.
I have my life on a track that I want it on, and I don't want to get off.
Lotta people don't know where Utah is but it in Salt Lake.
What good is success if you're not willing to share it?
I don't know what my label is. I just think of myself as a plain forward. I like to think I have some finesse to my game, but inside the paint is where men are made. If you can't play there, you should be home with your mama.
What excites me the most is when a coach calls a timeout and chews out his forward because I just dunked on his head.
Forget the technique. Hit the guy across from you. Don't let somebody come in your space.
I'm going to take some time with my family and talk everything over. I know this: I will not disrespect the Lakers or myself by coming back if I'm not 100 percent. Not 95 percent or even 99 percent. 100 percent!
