If I'm the Cavs, I seriously do this: I do a wink-wink deal with LeBron James, give him part ownership of the team. I put a statue in front of the building, and I retire his number. I do all of that.

I can't wait to play in front of the many Knicks fans, friends, and family in the NYC area and very much look forward to being a part of the Knicks organization.

Blake Griffin has shown he can be an All-NBA performer.

Stan Van Gundy is a top-five coach.

When you're educated, it allows you to be more worldly. It's more than just what happens in a classroom.

I play for a living, but I also love to play. That's a healthy balance of emotion that, as a player, you have to keep balanced.

Nobody talks about it. But everyone knows that if you signed at Michigan or UNLV, you were viewed one way. If you signed at Duke or Indiana, you were viewed another way.

What I really like is that Chicago is a big city: it has a large market, and you are exposed to everything, like shows and plays.

There are times families don't see eye to eye.

For Donald Trump, during his candidacy, he became a polarizing candidate, which included, along the way, insulting a lot of people.

I grew up in one of those households where, growing up in Detroit, you gravitate towards music and cars because we were the capital for a long time. Especially during my childhood. We were the Motown sound. We were the Motor City.

All my friends and family have seen Patrick Ewing's TV at my house.

The greatest set shooter ever? Larry Joe Bird. Period. The best coming off screen? Reginald Miller. And the best off the dribble? Steph Curry.

Dr. Dre is the most influential artist and producer in hip-hop history.

The star power is who is playing at an All-Star level, a top 12 level, and that's Jimmy Butler. He's become one of the best players in the league, a terrific two-way player.

I don't want people to feel like I'm upset or bitter with C-Webb or the University of Michigan. I love them both.

The quality of your public education shouldn't be defined by your zip code.

I want my media to be raw and uncut, and I want to articulate it in a spectacular, vernacular Detroit style.

No electricity, no hot water, no heat - at times, we struggled. We'd wake up in the morning and wash with water we heated on a hot plate. And we'd go to bed at night wearing skull caps, sweat shirts, and gloves.

It's my job, it's my role, it's my mission, it's my dream to have everyone who has Michigan ties - whether you went to college in Michigan, whether you grew up in Michigan, if you've ever heard of the state of Michigan - to do what you can to influence the students of the Detroit metropolitan area.

I've been really vocal about my disappointment about how the WNBA athletes get treated like second-class citizens in relations to the NBA when they're a subsidiary.

A lot of guys are starting to get away from trying to jerk these heavy weights and throw all these heavy weights around.

Really being able to harness my mental approach has kind of taken me to the next level, and obviously maturing as a player and a teammate and as a person. Those are things that are necessary to achieve success in this game. There's no other way around it.

Sports psychology or mental training has been viewed as a weakness, and I think that's a pretty silly way to look at it.
