When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.

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

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.

As one old gentleman put it, " Son, I don't care if you're stark nekkid and wear a bone in your nose. If you kin fiddle, you're all right with me. It's the music we make that counts.

I don't think feminism, as I understand the definition, implies the rejection of maternal values, nurturing children, caring about the men in your life. That is just nonsense to me.

Sometimes I just walk through; I just show up, as in The Other Sister.

My wife loves to shop at Bloomingdale's. I bring her mail there twice a week.

Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.

I go out of my way to stay off commuter planes. I have skipped conferences because I would not fly on marginal airlines (and because of many mishaps, I also avoided flying on ValuJet).

We are on the planet to... wrap our consciousness around the divine treasure within us.

You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.

Hell is no other but a soundlesse pit, Where no one beame of comfort peeps in it.

The court's recent understanding of religion as a private matter for individuals has plainly become malnourished and impoverished.
