I don't wish stardom on anyone. When I hear people say, 'this guy's a star,' I always say, 'good luck.'

I remember as a young player I had this dream of playing in the NBA.

Isolation basketball will always be part of the game. But the system has to be predicated on ball movement and, more importantly, player movement.

Greatness is empowered in a system where you pass the ball, not pound it.

LeBron James has proven he can lead by example. My wish for LeBron is to understand the following: He's an exceptional leader because he leads by example. The next step on the road to Legend, which he's already on, is to trust he's the best player in the best system anywhere in basketball.

In 1989-90 I became one of the group known as the Jordanaires, a.k.a. the Bulls. From the day I arrived in Chicago, I knew what everyone else on the team did: Michael Jordan was a phenomenal talent.

I gotta win games. Because if we lose games, and I score a lot, they going to say I'm scorin' too much.

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.

I felt like I was better at football than I am in basketball.

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 surround myself with people who make me laugh.

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.

I'm just a regular 24/7 dad now.

Tattoos, cornrows, headbands, hip-hop. I never meant to start any trends. I got my butt kicked, but if that meant that the guys who came after me could be themselves, then it was worth it.

Coming into the league, if I would've had money, then obviously I would've had more tattoos.

All my tattoos are tattoos that I wanted to get, but I couldn't afford.

God gave me all this; why waste the talent that he gave me? Why not go full throttle with it all and try to become in the class with the greatest players that ever played the game? That's just a great feeling.

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?

I knew I was gonna be the number one pick, but I didn't know.

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?

That's where I'll get the love in my heart: from, the fact that little young guys can look at the obstacles that I had to go through to become a Hall of Famer and know it's not so bad when it comes to them trying to accomplish the same goal.

What makes me feel good is all of the people that rooted for A.I. get a chance to say, 'He did what you never thought he could do. The critics. He did what you never thought he could accomplish.' This is a moment that me and my fans and my family and friends can share together because we always believed in the dream.

Larry Brown molded me into an MVP and a Hall of Fame player.

You can hide from the devil, but he'll always find you.
