Your team has to understand that coming into the ABA, you have to have your investments right and sponsorships and people ready to give you money so they can back you up.
When I see gay people holding hands or kissing in the streets, I just don't think that's right.
I was always taught if you do something, face the piper. Try to make it right.
I think I have the skills. I'm a great judge of talent. I just know basketball.
I hate them with all the hate you can hate with. Can you hate more than that? If you can, I hate them more than that.
I'm not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn't go to any other team.
I didn't like how my NBA career ended because I wanted to go out on my own terms. But nobody tried to believe in me, that I could go back and play. I can still play at 39.
I am committed to examining my feelings and will recognize, appreciate and respect the differences among people in our society.
If the right people do the right things, we can walk, we can have a future. But if people don't put time into it to make it run in a right way, I don't think your team will work.
As an African-American, I know all too well the negative thoughts and feelings hatred and bigotry cause.
I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States.
Our schedule is competitive and our games will be fast paced and exciting, ... We play each of our division rivals twice at home which will give the fans some familiarity with our rivals and lead to a great first season. Plus, all of our games besides Sunday games will start at 7pm - which I believe is the perfect start time for families to come out and enjoy the entire ABA entertainment experience.
I want you to know the Pit Bulls and I WILL return next season, and the experience will NOT be what it has been for you this season.
I'm happy Pat Riley is giving him a chance, that he didn't give me, to live his legacy out and play one more year. I'm waiting for that phone call just to do that.
