I'll make the right decision, whichever one it is. I have to be 100 percent, not 95 or 99.
You can't stop father time... but you can show [him] down.
Sometimes, you follow your dreams. I say to the young people, 'If you have a dream, chase it.'
When I said I retired from basketball playing, I have retired. You will not see me play again. That is a promise.
Lotta people don't know where Utah is but it in Salt Lake.
What excites me the most is when a coach calls a timeout and chews out his forward because I just dunked on his head.
I've been away for more than 20 years. The day I left was the day I was ready to come back home. I just want to thank Terry for coming back home for this event.

He was definitely one of the greatest all-around players ever to play the game.
