I pursued to have my team win as much as we could.

When you're the king of someplace, you don't voluntarily leave.

I went to Duke, and I stayed at Duke all four years because I wanted as many years under Coach K's tutelage as I could get. I think every year you get with him, the more it's going help you for basketball and life. So I wanted to play for him as long as I could.

Larry Johnson was fun to watch.

My freshman year, the hate was all directed toward Danny Ferry. And every year, there's some new poor sucker at Duke who draws the ire of everybody.

I always pull for the best of the best.

I root for John Calipari.

I'm not gonna say I'm the greatest guy, but the reason I don't hate is I know what it feels like to be hated. So I always pull for Tom Brady.

You can't cry yourself to sleep every night because people from a distance hate you. So you gotta do with it what you can, and if that means using it as motivation, then that's what you do.

All I wanted to do was win. People have to remember that when I came to Duke, they'd started to get a reputation that they can't win the big game. We were aware of that, and we hated it.

It's not good to be a hater.

Part of me would like for not all the Kentucky, Carolina, and Connecticut fans to despise me, but another part of me realizes that's not important.

As a thrill in my career, the Olympics rank right up there with my two NCAA championships at Duke.

At Duke, the coaches would cover up for you. But with the Wolves, something happen,s and it's in the papers, and I'm blamed. Things are run differently here - the wrong way, if you ask me. One man wants to blame another.

People can think what they want about me.

The only thing I can control is winning on the basketball court.

You cannot just allow your team to stink.

Sometimes you've just got to will it into the hoop.

I want to see kids go to college more.

I was unique and still am unique.

I'm up in Minneapolis all the time. I love being up there.

You earn playing time on the practice floor.

If you want the whole college basketball experience, you have to go to a game at Cameroon Indoor!

The Olympics in '92, I didn't contribute that much. I had more to do with winning the National Championships than I did the gold medal.
