Because Of The Makeup Of The Nba,

I Wanted To Undertake The Challenge Of Daring To Be Great.

I Didn't Want To Become A Reserve Player, Or A Bench Player, And It Was Time To Move On And Take On Another Challenge.

Right Up Until The Time I Retired At Age 37, I Felt Like There Were Still Things That I Could Do Better.

One Of The Most Predictable Things In Life Is There Will Be Change. You Are Better Off If You Can Have A Say In The Change. But You Are Ignorant Or Naive If You Don't Think There Will Be Change, Whether You Want It To Or Not.

In A Lot Of Areas Of My Life, Particularly In My Teenage Years, I Began To Think About The World, And To Think About The Universe As Being A Part Of My Conscious Everyday Life.
