I played when I played, and played, I think, against the greatest players in the greatest time in the history of basketball.

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have to change up the way you go at a player.

I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.

Some players are more physical than others, some play with more finesse. Some are just really great all-around players. So you have to change your game.

I think that everyone should be able to dribble. Everyone should be able to pass. Otherwise, why are you out there?

You have to teach now - tell a kid how to box out, tell him how to pass, teach him footwork. Players don't understand that anymore.

But I think the image that's thrown out on television is a bad image. Because you see players who want to imitate hip-hop stars. And the NBA is taking advantage of the situation.

We're all Americans trying to compete. Magic was competing for his team and Larry for his team.

Actually, Magic and the Lakers beat Philadelphia for Magic's first NBA Championship.

If your life is founded on what you can see then your success will be insignificant and very brief

Have you noticed how Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen look nothing alike, and yet they both manage to look exactly like their father, Martin?

O Lord, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of doubt, at least let mewear a Walkman...

We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.

I have had 50 drinks in one go!

The primary object of non-co-operation is nowhere stated to be paralysis of the Government. The primary object is self-purification.

The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth in what seems to be an instant.

See how many are better off than you are, but consider how many are worse.

By giving every child a fair start, we are improving our collective future, including the private sector's ability to find talent in a very competitive global marketplace.

Growing up, I wish I hadn't tried so hard to fit in. I'd tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it's beautiful and you were made like that for a reason.
