Chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is 10, or something.
You can love me or you can hate me.
I go out with white women. This makes a lot of people unhappy, mostly black women.
I'll be the judge of my own manliness.
I'm starting to see players copy what I do. I'm flattered.
My feet are like gnarled old tree branches.
There's one thing everyone should understand: I like my character.
I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.
Wilt Chamberlain lied when he said he had 20,000 women.

To hang out in a gay bar or put on a sequined halter top makes me feel like a total person.

With me, everything's right on the table.
I spent my whole childhood looking for an escape.
I'm trying to find new ways to make this game more attractive.
Death has always had a prominent place in my mind. There are times when I think somebody might kill me.

Everybody's talking trash these days, so why not keep quiet?

As long as I play ball, I can get any woman I want.
Black culture is something I don't relate to much at all.
For years the league has thought I've been on drugs. I would have burned out a long time ago if that was true.
I can't begin to describe the amount of crap I've taken for being a lousy free-throw shooter.
I don't feel anything when I watch Shaquille O'Neal play. I don't feel anything coming off him.
I don't fit into the mold of the NBA man, and I think I've been punished financially for it.
