“Coming into the league, if I would’ve had money, then obviously I would’ve had more tattoos.”

Just understand that there’s going to be some ups, there’s going to be some downs.

Being in a fishbowl, everybody looking at every move you make, talking about everything you do – it’s just a hard life to live.

I surround myself with people who make me laugh.

Sometimes it used to hurt so bad when people used to say stuff about me. It still does. But I’m at a level now that I’m like, ‘I ain’t surprised that they said this or that about me.’

All my tattoos are tattoos that I wanted to get, but I couldn’t afford.

As far as how I expressed ‘practice, practice, practice’ over and over again, I wouldn’t take that back because, obviously, that sound bite is great for the media and for the fans, because they love it.

I don’t want to just go to the playoffs, I don’t want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it’s bittersweet.

Everybody talks about that one when they first meet me. ‘Man, I still remember the play you shook Jordan.’ Everybody gonna always remember it because it was Jordan.

I’ve accomplished so many things in basketball. I financially secured my kids’ life and their future. I’m just happy. I’m just blessed. So anything that I’m not awarded doesn’t matter because I’ve been rewarded enough in this lifetime.

People and what they say don’t bother me like they used to. When I was younger, I really couldn’t take it because I couldn’t understand where the criticism was coming from.

If that many people recognize how hard I go every night and what I put into my game, to make myself and my team better, it means a lot to me. I’m fortunate; I’m blessed to be in the situation that I’m in right now.

I wanted my fans and my family and my friends to be proud of me.

You don’t want to hear about how much money I donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America or to AIDS awareness or to give out scholarships. You don’t want to hear about that.

I want to thank coach Thompson, for saving my life. For giving me the opportunity.

I used to say my biggest accomplishment was just getting drafted, whether it was the first pick or the 100th or whatever.

I don’t feel no type of way. I just understand that He helped me accomplish a lot of things in the NBA. I’ve done so many things that people thought that I couldn’t do.

I would not want to be the Europa League in the current format, that’s for sure.

Thursday night games are difficult to contend with given the level of physicality we deal with in the Premier League.

Pace is more critical in the Premiership than in any other major league and if you don’t have pace.

It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me.

All of a sudden I’m in the major leagues and we’re traveling from town to town.

The right wing has had a radio apparatus for years and years, so they’ve had minor leagues.

I love my country and I love my league.

I show up on the injury report as much as the statsheet, but if I’m healthy, I’m going to be a late-round steal in most leagues.
