I wasn't a fan of the Sixers. My dad was a big Mo Cheeks fan, and he wanted me to be drafted by the Sixers. My thing was, if that could make my dad happy, then that would make me happy, you know what I mean?
I knew I was gonna be the number one pick, but I didn't know.
I'm a Hall of Famer, and I can go outside today and go to a restaurant or wherever, and somebody will come up to me and say, 'Practice? We talkin' 'bout practice?' Man, I am a Hall of Famer, and that's all you can think about?
Coming into the league, if I would've had money, then obviously I would've had more tattoos.
I'm just a regular 24/7 dad now.
Being older, I can't imagine a parent not wanting to be in their kid's life. I will just never understand it. To me, it's priceless.
Guys is supposed to be able to be original and dress like how they want to dress. The NBA can't dress no grown man.
I've accomplished so many things in basketball. I financially secured my kids' life and their future. I'm just happy. I'm just blessed. So anything that I'm not awarded doesn't matter because I've been rewarded enough in this lifetime.
My whole thing was being wanted and being accepted by a ball club. That was the most important thing to me.
At some point, it comes to an end regardless, however it comes, whether it is retirement or injury; at some point, it comes to an end.
I don't feel no type of way. I just understand that He helped me accomplish a lot of things in the NBA. I've done so many things that people thought that I couldn't do.
I used to say my biggest accomplishment was just getting drafted, whether it was the first pick or the 100th or whatever.
You used to think the suspect was the guy with the cornrows; now you see the police officers with the cornrows.
Coach's voice will never leave my head as long as I live.
I make all that money and it ain't enough. I gotta make more to help all the people around me.
I wanna thank Biggie Smalls, Redman, Jadakiss, Tupac and Michael Jackson for being my theme music throughout my career.
