Athlete

I heal quickly, and I stay in good shape, and I will stay in good shape.

Mostly, I go in the weight room and visit.

I was thinking back when Karl Malone and I, when one of us would be in the weight room early in the morning, and the other one wasn't there, the first comment to the other person would be, 'It's mighty lonely up here.'

When you're younger, you might make some shots you're not normally capable of, because you're more fluid, maybe stronger, maybe faster. As you get older, you learn not to take those crazy shots.

I try to exploit things against everybody; that's part of the game: beat the guy that guards me while you're beating their team.

I've benefited from great coaches my whole life, starting in sixth grade. To be able to pass that on is a neat experience for me.

If I pass the ball to Karl Malone, he still has to make the shot, or nothing has happened.

I love to play, and I appreciate the opportunity to be part of a good organization.

Essentially, when you join a team, you're making a commitment to your team. You can't take that lightly.

Struggles are what made everything worth while.

It's great to win, regardless of how you did it.

I didn't want to get caught up in the mind-set that, 'Wait a minute, I'm ahead of Magic. I better slow down.'

I just play. I'm not one to think about it. If I get one assist and we win, that's great. Otherwise, I could care less.

I never thought I'd make it in the NBA, so everything else is gravy.

I'm not a cerebral player. When I'm out on the floor, I try to play.

I think I've preserved most of my private life, and I think that's still important for me, and that's still important for my family.

The game's a beautiful game when five guys go out there and give something of themselves so that you can win.

My playing time in 1992 was limited because of an injury I suffered in a practice.

I never consciously thought about going all the way through the 'Gonzaga farm system,' but that's the way it happened.

Obviously, being in the league for so long, you do have something to offer as a coach.
