I never really had a chance to know the players individually... I thought when they were on the floor, they worked hard. But I never really got to know them. ↗

I was an all-around player - if I was just a scorer, there's no way the Hawks would have won 50 games four years in a row. ↗

Like I said, when you have to play against a great player every night, that defines who you are if you can compete on that same level night in and night out. ↗

To give you an idea what it feels like to be going in with some of the best baseball players of all-time, I mean it is fantastic. I have to say this about them, there are so many of these guys up here that were my role models, people I looked up to, people I wanted to be like. ↗

I've always favored kids as a player. If I walked out of the locker room and there were 100 people there and 50 of them were kids, I'd sign the 50 kids before anything else. ↗

I have no distributor... it is indicative to me that there are these pockets of players and collectors all over. You should see the correspondence I get from over the world letting me know how significant they think I am. I know that wherever I go, I am well received. ↗

The magic of playing has to do with how much everyone wants it to succeed. If you have five players in a situation where the music is being improvised and one is determined it is not going to succeed, it won't succeed even if one of the musicians takes control. ↗
