I got hooked up with the NBA Nation and the next thing I knew I was judging the Sprite Slam Dunk Showdown. They needed somebody who can travel on the weekends and go up to eight different cities.

When I dunk, I put something on it. I want the ball to hit the floor before I do.

When everything is said and done there is nothing left to do or say.

I'm six foot eleven. My birthday covers three days.

I think I got hooked up because I try to do good things with the NBA, and they always want somebody who's notable and who's personable with people.

I know what I want, but I'm not allowed to pick a favorite.If I was to say one guy, that guy would be feeling like 'I got this,' and I want everybody to have a chance.

I was a power dunker. I want to go straight up, put it down on somebody. I want everybody under there.

Music? All kinda music. I don't just listen to one thing; I listen to everything.

I will try just about all the folk food we go to in any place.

The only thing you must do, flesh-child, is die. The rest is but a trick of light in the foam on the waves.

It's embarrassing to be human.

I am always trying to evolve, so I like to read parenting books and things like that.

There is absolutely no way the best team in the NCAA could even dream of beating the worst team in the NBA? You're talking about men vs. boys.

I am perfect as I am. Everything in my life is working just the way it should. I am loved, and I am love.

I'm a really good parent to myself sometimes, and I do things that make me learn and grow.

Sincerity is always subject to proof.

Warm, eager, living life-to be rooted in life-to learn, to desire, to know, to feel, to think, to act. This is what I want. And nothing less. That is what I must try for.

All ages serve and worship the same God, gather under the same gospel and add to the collective song that praises the faithfulness of God as each generation shares in his promises to us.
