I played in Joe Louis in a playoff game. I played there when the roof caved in for half a season. The facility is great for basketball because it goes straight up, so you feel like the fans are on top of you. ↗

Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns. ↗

My life had no meaning at all. I found only brief interludes of satisfaction. It was like my whole life had been about my whole basketball career. ↗

When I look at the system here and look at my position - not just as a basketball player, but when I look around me at the values of the people and the culture and compare them with the values of where I came from - I feel so blessed to be from Africa. ↗

Well, I work out three to four times a week, in a gym, which - thank God - is right in my building here in New York City. It's in the Reebok building, and it's got every kind of weightlifting equipment you can imagine, spread out over six floors, plus basketball courts and everything else. And because it's right in the building, there's no excuse. ↗
