It amuses me that just because I'm white and always looked skinny, I'm supposed to be unphysical, soft, not tough.

No one thinks more highly of me than probably myself. I think that's fine.

I made three visits during my senior year of high school to Duke, UNC, and Virginia. If I hadn't gone to Duke, I would have went to Carolina, just like a lot of Carolina players who, had they not gone there, would have went to Duke.

For my entire Duke career, people were gunning for us and hating us and wanting us to lose, so I got used to that right away. Every team is going to give you their best shot. Everyone wants to beat you.

I don't think it's a good M.O. to disrespect your opponents, and maybe that's why the teams that disrespected me and my team lost to us.

I always played my best when I respected my opponent and was a little scared of them because they could beat me. Every game I played in college, that was the case.

How many people get to say a '30 for 30' is being made about them?

If you are not a Dukie, and Duke is having a lot of success year after year, you might get tired of it. They might not like your competing personality or competing persona, and if you are not a Dukie, or you don't love Duke or Christian Laettner, then I can understand the hating on me.

This is something people don't realize about me, but I can laugh - and laugh at myself.

People mature. They learn. They get better at things. You're different when you're 45 than when you're 25.

When you're being interviewed every day, and you're tired, you can make mistakes and say the wrong things, especially when you're young. When you're young, you don't realize everything, and you're a little naive.

I'm different now than I was when I was 20 years old.

My biggest regret in life - well, one of them - is that I wasn't muskie fishing from '92 to '96 when I was not married.

You can only be that confident if you know you've done the work.

I realize everyone has the image and perception that I was the worst person.

I used to tell my mother, 'Mom, when they write really flattering things about your son, don't believe it all. And when they write really negative things about your son, don't believe it all.'

I don't believe many teams can do it just with one really, really good player. You have to be surrounded with a good cast.

I really looked forward to the opportunity to play for the Timberwolves. I went up there and gave it my all. I fell in love with the city and the people up there, even to the extreme where I met my wife up there.

I don't watch any NBA games today, because it makes me sad: I want to be back out there.

It's hard to live up to the expectations. Besides that, I think I had a very good NBA career, and I'm proud of it. I might not have been an absolute monster, but I thought I did pretty good.

There's gotta be a villain; there's gotta be a good guy.

Anytime the premiere sports channel calls you and says they want to do a movie about you, you're going to say, 'Yes.'

I've been on teams in the NBA where we don't play the right way.

I can't say I go through life liking it and that I pursue to be hated, but I did pursue to be a good basketball player.
