There are a lot of elderly people in Flint who are homebound and can't get the supplies they need.

The only people I care about are my wife and kids, my mom and brother, close friends to the family. Anybody outside my circle, I could care less.

A shooter takes shots, a shotter makes shots.

I wouldn't say it's to the point where I hate him or nothing like that because he's not with my mom or he wasn't there when I was growing up. He's my father whether I like it or not - he helped give me life. So I still love him and everything. Sometimes I wished he was with me, and other times I didn't.

The things that we did in Detroit will never be done again. Our record of holding seven teams under 70 points will never be done again.

I never liked Duke. I don't know why. Just never did. Guess they were always a heavy favorite and I liked to go with the underdog.

Look, I'm not a water expert. I'm not a scientist. But I've been to Flint. I've seen what's happening. We have a third-world situation still going on in the United States of America. That's the truth.

As long as the people in Flint need our help, we're going to be here. And our hands-on impact is needed to uplift the morale and bring people's spirits up.

To me, once you lose that step or two, you pick up a step or two with your head.

That's what I hang my hat on, is defence.

This is America, but the way that the people of Flint are being treated with this water crisis is like a third-world country.

I'm not scared of the NBA. I'm not scared of the NBA officials.

I just love Portland, man. For real.

It's for a different circumstance when you're talking about playing for money and playing for heart.

I'm not in this league to be an All-Star. I'm not in this league to make the Hall of Fame. I'm not in this league to make the all-defensive team.

If you've got one guy you know is going to get that ball in crunch time, it's easier to defend him. But if you have five guys who can get that ball in crunch time, it's harder.

I love Air Force Ones. That's the shoe I grew up with in Philadelphia. My older brothers got me wearing them and I just stuck with them. Everyone in the neighborhood used to wear them. It's retro. It's tradition. That's me, old school.

What good is it if you are a 15-, 16-time All-Star and you never won nothing? A ring supersedes all of that.

I have this particular shoe with blood stains, marked all up sitting in my office. I always look at it everyday.

When I was playing, I had that passion and fire, cussing everybody out, but I had the opportunity to change that being out on the floor. But now that I'm coach, I can still have my passion, but I just have to tone it down.
