I always wanted to be a Sixer. My dad was a Sixers' fan. I never wanted to leave. I wanted to start my career in Philly and finish it here.

We got to stop people. We go ahead and we score 100 points every night, but we give up more. Our whole thing was, we know we can score, and we have to start having some kind of fun on the defensive end. Everybody want to play offense. Not too many people want to play defense. Defense is ego, pride, and that's the way we've been coming out, just taking the challenge. Man-on-man first, and having each other's back when a guy gets beat.

I want to return to the NBA this season, and help any team that wants me, in any capacity that they feel that I can help. I'm disappointed.

People try to start things with me because of who I am, and I know that means I have to stay away. Its definitely racial.

I've always said, just go ask my teammates if you want to know about me. Go ask the guys that I've played with. Don't ask or get information about me from people who are not in the locker room or not around me all of the time. Then you'll get legit answers.

Everything comes back around. You never thought Louis Vuitton and Gucci and all that other stuff would come back. You know what I mean? And now it's one of the highest brands there is out. Everything just comes right back into circulation. Baggy jeans might come back out again. Might be a while, but they might.

I thought we'd be discussing about me not leaving Philadelphia and they just kept asking me about the practice, so I lost it.

I dont want to be a point guard, or a two-guard, I want people to think of me as "creative", I just want to create on the court.

I've been in Philadelphia 10 years, man. I knew it was going to be a challenge, mentally. I always thought life would come to an end if I ever left Philadelphia. And I feel like a newborn. Being in Denver it's just a better situation for me. And I'm just happy that I feel like I got an opportunity where I can win basketball games here.

There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs; I've been to the playoffs before.

We had a lot to do with Randy being fired. If we were to do a lot better, then it probably wouldn't have happened.

You know, I've always told him (Larry Brown) I wanted the relationship that Michael Jackson... Michael Jordan, I'm sorry. ... I wanted the same relationship with him like Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan had.

I remember playing in a tournament when at home we didn't have light, because my mom spent her last money on my sneakers.

I didn't know I had this many fans in Puerto Rico. I'm going to carry this memory to my grave.
