I Hate Being Out There With Those

The Game Of Basketball Has Been Everything To Me. My Place Of Refuge, Place I've Always Gone Where I Needed Comfort And Peace. It's Been The Site Of Intense Pain And The Most Intense Feelings Of Joy And Satisfaction. It's A Relationship That Has Evolved Over Time, Given Me The Greatest Respect And Love For The Game.

The Game Is My Wife. It Demands Loyalty And Responsibility, And It Gives Me Back Fulfillment And Peace.

I Never Feared About My Skills Because I Put In The Work. Work Ethic Eliminates Fear. So If You Put Forth The Work, What Are You Fearing? You Know What You're Capable Of Doing And What You're Not.

Number 45 Doesn't Explode Like Number 23 Used To.

I Make Shoes For White Suburban Kids, Not The Poor Black Kids. That Would Be Like Opening A Restaurant For People Without Stomachs.
