“Get his master’s in criminal justice, stayed out of trouble. Played for three different teams. Changed three different franchises around.”

All of my projects are done right because I know the game, and I consider myself a rap expert.

The problem with kids these days is they don’t have enough fun stuff to do. When I was stationed with my family in Germany, youth basketball programs gave me something to strive to do my best at.

I’m going to be on a mission. I’ve handled my personal vendettas and handled them well.

The day I stopped worrying about stats is the day I started winning

Excellence is a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.

Being that I’m a tropical black man I don’t get to see much snow. When I see snow I go crazy. That’s why they call me Sasquatch. There’s no Sasquatch found in the snow so I had to go back to my Sasquatchian roots.

Opinions are like belly buttons; everybody has one. I never knock a man for his opinion.

A lot of times when I buy a lot of toys, I get a little jealous and keep one or two for myself. So I’ve got a couple of drones. I’ve got a couple of remote-control cars. I like to have fun

If he were on fire, he couldn’t act as if he were burning. He can’t out-act me on the big screen.

When you flop, that’s just another message that you don’t know how to play me. Stand up and take your medicine like a man.

I just want everyone to know I’m suing Ruben Studdard. He had his hand on my ass and he wouldn’t let go.

Before I became the ‘Great Test of the West,” I was the ‘Beast of the East.’

There was a kid that had five brothers and sisters, and the family was missing for like five days. I was watching TV, they [found each other] and now they’re in San Antonio. So I bought them a little apartment in San Antonio. But I’m doing stuff like that all over.

My message to little kids who aspire to be anything they want to be is to listen to their parents.

Every time that I’ve won a championship I’ve looked at my guys around me and looked at their work ethic and said ‘You know what, I’m going to win it this year. I feel that way now.

We’re focusing on the whole pie, not a slice. A slice is good, but it’s not good enough to get you fat. We’re trying to get fat.

I was known around the college for jamming in the lounge.

I became the storyteller of South Side Chicago. I used an old Kiwi liquid shoe polish as a microphone. I’d go around the house interviewing everybody, telling stupid jokes, doing voices. I mimicked Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Jr., people on ‘Laugh-In,’ Flip Wilson.

After I ran off the mound, I looked over at the St. Louis dugout. There were players rolling around on the floor, laughing. Poor Terry. I’ll have to admit that was a hell of a curveball.

I don’t seek power and do not run around

Public and private funds have been thrown around like confetti at a country fair, to close up and destroy clinics, hospitals, and scientific research laboratories which do not conform to the viewpoint of medical associations.

It always felt embattled and small. It always, almost always, was a small group of people relative to the opposition around.

Hi, this is Bernard Fanning from Powderfinger. I’m in New York at the moment, and we’ve been walking around the city, it’s pretty strange.

Around that same time I started running. I never saw myself as the kind of person who would become a runner. It seemed unfathomable to me that I would ever run three miles, let alone 26.2.
