My ego has been in check for a long time.

Coming off the bench behind a fine young center like Alonzo Mourning fits my style.

I think Paul Pierce, the way he manufactures points, is the best player the Celtics have seen thus far.

An induction into the prestigious USSSA Hall of Fame is a humbling honor and a testament to everyone who helped foster and grow Worth's partnership with USSSA.

I'm 38, and everyone is making a big deal out of it because I got a few gray hairs cropping in my sides.

In my mind, I would always be a Celtic. I was very thankful and humbled that the Hornets saw fit to allow me to play a couple more years, but the only time I thought of myself as a Charlotte Hornet was game time. Other than that, when the jersey came off, I still felt like I was a Celtic.

I can be very stoic looking, that's just my facial expression. I don't smile a lot.

I come across as being arrogant and dismissive, even if that is not the case.

I know what it is to be misunderstood.

I had 30 years of playing basketball and I came through it unscathed.

It would have been a short career if I had not been traded to Boston. I was rejuvenated in Boston.

Growing up, I didn't like basketball. I played football and baseball and ran some track.

I've always been one to shy away from the publicity, the limelight, whatever you want to call it. I prefer to be in the background.

You could say that as I've gotten more mature, I've acquired more manure.

There are no expectations on a 40-year-old man. All I have to worry about is intensity, and things will take care of themselves. I don't have to worry about championships, all-star games, contracts. I can just walk on the court and play.

It's just a fact. You've got to deal with racism wherever you go.

I was very lucky that I never had any serious injury. But it was the love and passion for the game that got me playing for so long.

I kind of look at Boston as my second home.

I was always happy off the court at Golden State. It was on the court that I was frustrated.

I thought if I could play 10 years in the league, it would be a great career more than I could ever hope for in my wildest dreams.

It's difficult for a 7-footer to be in the background. But I try to do it as much as I can.

Everyone knows my career was catapulted to another level when I got traded to the Boston Celtics.

Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge, Bill Walton, Quinn Buckner, Scott Wedman. Even if you get talent like that, it's hard to keep talent like that together.

There weren't many plays for me. A lot of my stats came off broken plays, or when I didn't allow the options to play out and just took the shot.

Good grooming and hygiene are essential. It's never too early to start being concerned about your appearance - first impressions are everything.

Wait until you have made a definitive decision, about whatever it is that you are pondering, and then make a public announcement.

I'm not saying Brad Stevens should not be getting praise for the job that he's done, because I feel like he's done an outstanding job. I'm just saying the amount of praise he's getting, you'd think he won a championship or two. They don't give Steve Kerr that much love. Come on.

I guess people think I'm aloof just because I don't talk much. I guess I'd think the same thing if I saw myself.

The tattoos, they were just something to do.

It ranks right up there with winning a championship, being selected as one of the 50 greatest athletes in the NBA. It's definitely a highlight in my career.

You should never put your hands on a woman, under any circumstances.

I always have room for another ring, unless it's a wedding ring.

No center would be great without the right people around him.

I've been blessed with a good body that has held up over the years and I love the game.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know how good I have it. You can't find a much better job than this. There are only 300 players in this league, so I feel very fortunate and proud to be one of those players.

I don't think it matters how old you are as long as you keep yourself physically fit.

I'm not comfortable with being honored, showered with appreciation. But it's always appreciated.

I was a very quiet kid, had nothing much to say.

I cannot thank Don DeDonatis enough for his leadership of USSSA, his stewardship of our business initiatives, and his friendship to me over the years.

I've had the zeroes since junior high school. We didn't have enough numbered shirts to go around, so my shirt was called double zero. I liked it, so I kept it.

I'd be the first to say that I'm a distant individual. I have a tendency to come across as being aloof and dismissive.

I am a loner, I suppose.

As far as any personal records, if I get 'em, fine, and if I don't, fine.

I will always be a Celtic at heart. That's where my career took off.

Boston has some of the best fans in any sport. They are very knowledgeable. They understand me. I was loved, embraced, and supported; what more can you ask for as an athlete?

I have never been one to seek or want attention or admiration or a pat on the back for what I've done.

I've never been a person that was concerned about accolades or the media embracing me.

I need a coaching job in the NBA. I'm restless and I need money.

Across the board, most NBA teams do not call back. You need a court order just to get a phone call back from these organizations. I'm not a part of their fraternity.

I want to make it clear, I'm not whining, and the Celtics owe me nothing. But having said that, you would think at least I would have a conversation about a coaching job, since that's what I want to do.
