I basically gave up drinking. Personally, I thought I was drinking too much and, over the long run, it caught up with me.

I use Kung Fu. That really helps my flexibility and coordination.

I haven't talked to the press much. That's why I've gotten kind of a bad reputation. They look at me and think I don't give a damn. But I'm not comfortable with the attention.

I told myself coming into the league that if I could play for six or seven years, that would have been a great career.

I exceeded my expectations of longevity in the NBA.

I can't speak for the Warriors but for me and my career, being traded to the Celtics changed the trajectory of my career.

I was seriously thinking about having a very short basketball career before the trade because of all the losing that I experienced with the Warriors, and being blamed for the Warriors demise.

You need talent and good coaching to be successful in the NBA.

I think experience helps but it's not required to be successful.

The one opinion that experience does for you is it keeps you cool, calm, and collected under pressure.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I am a loner, I suppose.

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

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