David Stern is the mastermind behind a lot of stuff, he controls a lot of stuff, he dictates a lot of stuff so he's going to make himself look good.

There's always someone who wants to make you look bad.

You can't say, 'You're a scorer, you score. You rebound, you rebound.' Basketball is more than that. Basketball is knowing the next step, knowing the next play, knowing how to make things happen.

Just because there's glass on the road don't mean there's been an accident.

When you play 40 minutes a game, you're going to average a lot of rebounds.

Coming from the inner city of Cleveland and growing up you never expected a street to be named after you or anything. It's a special honor.

I'm not the kind of guy you threaten.

A lot of guys do the pretty things. Dunking, tattoos, earrings, sagging jeans. That's the league now. They have athletic ability, but they don't know the game.

I'm not a high jumper, but you don't see guys intimidating me or posting me up.

I've got too much heart and pride for the game.

If you a real true guy you don't talk about a guy after he is deceased.

You can't just score more points than last year without playing defense.

Your offense might not be great every game, but defense is just about working hard and outworking your opponents.

Knicks fans are the smartest in the world and they know you can't just play one end of the court.

Some guys get by on natural athletic ability. And then when they reach a certain point, they got to put in the time before and after practice and in the off-season.

My thing was I had attitude every night. No matter who I played, who I went against, what team, you've got to have an attitude.

I don't play mind games.

Why complain to the NBA and to the officials all the time, just like Tyrone Hill, always complaining about me on the court?

I guess I'm going to have to go Google myself and see why people think I shouldn't be coaching.

When you walk out here with the Bobcats logo, stand for something. Not wearing your hat to the back, sagging jeans. Be a professional, that's how I present myself to them.

You put in what you get out. If you don't put time into your game, you're not going to get better.

Most coaches are mostly small guards because they think guards have more knowledge.

Every team has a main guy.

I'm just a piece of the pie, a slice of the pound cake.

I still can't believe I'm even in the NBA. Me? Hah.

The guys who beat me didn't get 1,000 rebounds. I did. It's not my fault the other guys didn't play as many games.

I like Chicago. I've visited Chicago before and have family here.

In Chicago, they wanted Michael to do his thing and me to be just rebound. I'm more than a rebounder.

A shirt look good when you iron it but if you iron too much, it gonna get burned.
