I lived in Washington longer than I have lived anywhere else, so it's considered home, even though I moved back to California.

I think I'm one of the rare people out there who still cares about the game of basketball.

I can interact with anybody, but I'm shy.

I always go against the odds.

You get paid on what you did, not what you're gonna do. That's what people don't understand. You get paid on what you did.

Fans saying a player is overpaid doesn't bother a player. What bothers an injured player is watching your competitors grow.

I was on my way to becoming a Hall of Famer and having my name in the rafters, but three surgeries in 14 months, that is not good. I wasn't the same player.

You can't fault a player because he got injured.

I just put my anger and resentment into basketball. Even the stuff from my childhood.

When I leave the NBA, I don't want my legacy to be, 'He won a championship ring.' I want my legacy to say, 'He played for the people. He gave everybody in the world hope that they can be just like him.'
