Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

How many times have your parents told you not to do things, and the next thing you know, you go do it? And you realized you shouldn't have done it.

It's a heavy duty to try to do everything and please everybody. My job was to go out there and play the game of basketball as best I can and provide entertainment for everyone who wanted to watch basketball. Obviously, people may not agree with that; again, I can't live with what everyone's impression of what I should or what I shouldn't do.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can't let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.

That I may have the soul-life, the soul-nature, let divine beauty bring to me divine soul.

Thank God I'm very satisfied with the way God created me, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.

My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.
