“Most people who are healthy, and I’m healthy, can’t even live my life.”

I grew up poor, but I didn’t have poor dreams

Being able to touch so many people through my businesses and make money while doing it, is a huge blessing.

Magic is crazy. He is that crazy wild guy on the basketball court that is very intense and very serious. He is the guy who lives and eats and breathes basketball.

Once Michael gets up there he says, ‘Well, maybe I’ll just hang up here in the air for a while, just sit back.’ Then all of a sudden, he says, ‘Well, maybe I’ll 360.

So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He’s not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.

I was around when my father finished the last payment of his house.

I found out that a person named Elizabeth Frazier was living with AIDS at the time, and so I called her up, and she took a meeting with me.

To me, everything is wonderful. Life is wonderful.

Because if you’re going to lose, lose. I’m serious.

There’s Michael [Jordan], then there’s the rest of us.

Christmas Day was special because everybody is watching at home. That’s what I loved about Christmas Day because it shined the spotlight on the Lakers, on our team.

It’s almost like we have ESPN.

I respect that. I can respect you more by doing that. But don’t smile in my face, shake my hand, and then you don’t really respect me, or want me to be around, or come to your games as the owner of the Clippers.

HIV changed my life, but it doesn’t keep me from living.

A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything.

Trust me. I get up 530-6 every morning. I’m in the gym. I run a couple miles. I lift weights, and then I’m at work until 8-9 o’clock at night.

I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount. Whatever I’m craving, I go for it. I’m never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I’m just being.

Every time I feel like I’m gaining a bit of weight, I’ll eat healthily for, like, 3 days. Then I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I look skinny again.’ Then I’ll go back to eating bad, but I tell myself it’s OK, I’m only 19, so I can do it while I can.

Anything can be achieved with a good, healthy dose of courage.

You know what I always say about basketball whenever anybody tried to tell me the Knicks are gonna be good: They’re old. Old people don’t get healthy. They die.

Disease and health, like circumstances, are rooted in thought.

In all affairs, it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.

Anxiety sucks creeps its way into your brain and decides to stay.

Blue dreams in ocean wading devotion I miss the waves of our healthy obsession.
