Challenge me. Treat me like a game of checkers and play me. That's all I'm asking, just play me. Treat me like Sega and play me.
How can Benedict Arnold be reliable in what he says?
Since I suffered the injury on company time, why shouldn't I also be able to get surgery and do recovery on company time?
I didn't say anything. Got nothing to say. I'm a married man; I don't need a relationship with another man.
I don't have to make a point. I'm George Bush. I'm the president. I built that arena, so I don't have to make a point.
Well, I don't remember all the names of all the clubs we went to
He doesn't need advice on how to play his position, but he needs advice on how to play team ball... If it's going to be my team, I'll voice my opinion. If he don't like it, he can opt out.
I've been the type of person [and] the type of athlete, I don't like to be given anything. I like to earn.
That's what I do. I get in and get under people's skin and all that stuff. But you will remember me - and that's all that matters.
I'm sort of like a specialist. I go in, do what I do and every four years, they get tired of me and I have to relocate myself.
I'm a mama's boy above all.
When you've got a guy that's going to look for you, you run. A lot of people think I can't run, but my thing was I wasn't going to be running if you're not going to throw it. I know Nash will throw it.
When I first came in, I partied and had a good time. I used to spend $500,000 on chains that don't make no sense. Then I started having babies. I don't do the bull**** no more.
It's t'ai chi every time. I'm using your positive energy, and I'm blowing off it. See, most guys can't push, they got to lean. When they lean, I spin.
A writer from ESPN magazine once described me as the world's largest eleven-year-old. That's true. I ride my Sea-Doo jet ski, play putt-putt golf, go to water parks, and act silly. On the bottom floor of my house in Beverly Hills, I have video games, a pool table, a Pepsi machine, and all the things they have in arcades. I drive go-karts, at least the ones I can fit in. I karate-chop my friends when they come over, like the Kato dude in the Pink Panther movies.
I don't believe that I personally have been changed by the money. The bad thing is people assume you've changed because now you have money.
Sometimes I feel like the Tom Hanks character in Big. But my life is not a movie. I never have to go back to Coney Island to find the fortune-teller machine so I have to grow up again.
I have never been a shooter.
I guess people think the taller you are the more dominant you have to be.
I don't ever want to grow up. I guess I'm like Peter Pan. Grown-ups have problems. I want to stay happy.
In junior high in Germany I fought kids all the time. I had such a bad temper, I almost got thrown out of school. A few lickings from my dad got me out of that scene. He wore me out with a paddle.
Someday I might have to put down a basketball and have a regular 9-to-5 like everybody else.
If he wants to get that next contract, he's going to have to go to the New York Athletic Club three times a day and just ride the bike.
Everything happens for a reason. I'm used to it, I prepare for it. Like I say, at the end of the day, those in charge of their own destiny are going to do what's right for them and their family.
It feels good. It's not bad for somebody who can't shoot.
