If you're out after 6 o'clock, have a jacket on, because you might go somewhere. People say, 'Oh, I ain't dressed for it.' But if you have a jacket on, you can go anywhere.
People hate to go out to eat with me because they know I'm going to send it back. Like, I'm trying to order simple. But don't blame me if you bring out the wrong stuff.
If you're picky, you have to learn about cooking.
I don't like 7-footers shooting threes, it's a disrespect to the game for me.
Back in our day and era, you had to have your potential and be ready to play right away. Everybody was talented.
We had guys come out of high school, Moses Malone, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, but all these guys could play.
I just tried to go out there and play with attitude, doing what I was supposed to do and knowing my role on the team. Doing what my team expected me to do every night, not just once a week. It was all about work and I was just a tough guy who would knock somebody down.
If you see a man kiss me, I better be in my casket.
I ask everybody, who's the best between Magic and LeBron? Everyone says Michael's greatest. But, OK, well, we'll give him his props. But LeBron is a better athlete, and he can do more than Michael on the basketball court.

One guy can't make a team better.
They told me many times throughout my career to bite my tongue and I told them my tongue's been bleeding since I was born.
It's been so overwhelming, the people in New York. That's why they call New York, New York - because they care about things and know real situations. My love for the fans, it's mouth-dropping.
I'm in New York every two weeks. I don't have to ring a bell when I come to the city. I just do what I'm supposed to do when I'm in the city. I don't shy away.
Do me a favor and don't make me out to be no hero.
Don't say, 'I don't want to do this, because, whatever.' Don't give up on something. You got to work hard.
You can't shut somebody up by losing.
Some things don't just walk away. A dog got a broken leg, he ain't just going to walk away. He going to try to get himself together.
My thing was, if somebody talks about you this and that, you got to go prove them wrong.
I'm a trendsetter. I'm a leader, not a follower.
