Obviously, there are nights in any job when you don't want to be there, but that's when the pride factor comes in.

If you don't play with intensity in this league, you're going to get embarrassed. Without hard work, you don't have a chance.

I don't want to be taking up space, but as long as I can make a contribution, I want to play.

I've got a young mind.

Golden State was basically a guard-oriented offense so I didn't use it that much.

I'm not worried about offense. I've always had that, but I can get better defensively and that in turn will make my offense better.

Every year it happens. When I'm not putting up big numbers, I start hearing it - that I'm too old, that time finally has caught up with me.

Joe Kleine is not a legitimate center in the sense that he is not a shot blocker and not an intimidator. He's not a force on the offensive end.

I know if someone talked trash to me, I'd want to kick his butt.

Not head coach - Assistant would be very attractive, but I don't think I have the discipline to deal with all the egos and personalities a head coach has to deal with.

I've had my share of losing.

Playing with a winner is important.

At Golden State, it was basically a guard-oriented offense and it wasn't either around me or in my direction.

My father always shied away from attention. Whenever he'd get a compliment, he'd downplay it.

My parents always taught me to be humble no matter what the experience, to not think I was better than anyone else.

I've surprised a lot of people, including myself, with my longevity.

I have a great deal of respect for Coach Fitch. When we won the championship in '81, he was the main reason why we won. We were down and he never let us doubt ourselves.

On the West Coast, things are more relaxed, maybe because people have more fun outdoors. In the East, where the weather is not so good, people have to stay indoors. They're very knowledgable fans. This makes you play even harder.

You've got to listen to yourself, do what you think is best. Because if you listen to the critics, you might be going in all different directions.

Shoot, I ain't working for free. You can never have enough money.

I was always looking at the ground because I was self-conscious about my height. I had big feet, big hands, and all that.

To be honest my mentor was my mom and dad. I was very blessed and fortunate to have parents like I had.

I always feel like you should walk into a room or walk down the street, like you belong. That's the philosophy that I always try to subscribe to.

I don't talk about my private life.
