Basketball Player

I know for me, when I'm on the court I'm totally different than when I'm off of the court.

When the ball don't lie, you can look at it as, OK, if I put that hard work in with shooting, what's going to happen? The ball is going to go in more. If I'm doing a lot of hard work, in the gym, in the weight room, I'm putting that hard work in - then throughout your career, that ball is not going to lie.

When I got interested in football, nobody was cheering for Kansas City. Kansas City was trash. I said, 'That's my team.' Then what happens? We get Joe Montana and Marcus Allen.

It all starts with post play.

I'm not the type of player to let the 3s get me down: 'Oh, I'm missing a couple of 3s. I don't want to do this no more.' No, I'm out there playing basketball, and I'm not going to let that get me down.

I'm a 'big' who just knows how to shoot.

I already accepted that I can't jump no more. I'm not as fast as I used to be. I accepted that already. That's where you become more smart, make that first step or two before that quick player can get there. I gotta make this jump shot, so I'll give a pump fake because I know that he can jump higher than me.

Ain't no worst part about retiring! Believe me.

I only know one speed.

If it was true that I just cared about the money, then my whole attitude would be different. I want to win every game, and I want to go out a winner.

I have to say that to myself a lot - to be patient.

Life ain't fair, period.

Real ballers don't golf.

To me it seemed in college ball, guys are more hungry.

If I feel as though myself or my teammates have been dealt a wrong hand, I'm going to let it be known.

People don't understand why guys keep coming back, why a lot of older players who played for the Celtics keep coming back. It's the tradition.

I would rather be here in the Philly Hall of Fame than the NBA Hall of Fame.

Personally, it doesn't matter to me if I had the worst career stats in N.B.A. history as long as I got my 'ships. The 'ships, it shuts everything up.

People know I'm Philly straight up and down.

Actually I think it's better for me to come off the bench, because for them first couple of minutes when that first five is in there, you can see the little things and what you need to do when you get in there.
