“People always say he can run and he can jump. So can a deer and you wouldn’t put a deer in the game.”

The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.

He’s got to bring something stronger than that. That’s like bringing milk to a bar, it’s not strong enough

Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful not because of you white people but because of other black people.

Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season.

This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.

I don’t have time to put up with the politics. Who’s a Democrat? Who’s a Republican? Who’s liberal? Who’s conservative? Man, can my daughter just go to a school and not get killed? Can these people get a good job? That’s what I’m concerned about.

I was a Republican until they lost their minds.

When you get arrested it’s in big letters. When you get acquitted it’s in small letters.

My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.

Social media is where losers go to feel important.

I’m not paid to be a role model. I’m paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.

It’s the kind of game that makes you go home and beat your wife.

Being black or white isn’t an accomplishment. What you do with your life – or what you accomplish with your life – dictates what you should be proud of.

When I speak to kids I tell them, ‘Hey, you think your parents are a pain in the ass now, but they’re going to get smarter as you get older.’

I’d never buy my girl a watch… she’s already got a clock over the stove.

I don’t think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.

Sympathy beyond the confines of man, that is, humanity to the lower animals, seems to be one of the latest moral acquisitions.

What I really wanted was to travel and see all the different animals that were on the verge of extinction.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal.

Man is a goal-seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.

Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That’s the problem.

Four legs good, two legs bad.

Man has much power of discourse which for the most part is vain and false; animals have but little, but it is useful and true, and a small truth is better than a great lie.
