If the right people do the right things, we can walk, we can have a future. But if people don't put time into it to make it run in a right way, I don't think your team will work.

As an African-American, I know all too well the negative thoughts and feelings hatred and bigotry cause.

Everybody looks at his clothes to see what he's wearing.

I am committed to examining my feelings and will recognize, appreciate and respect the differences among people in our society.

I did everything I could to establish myself, but it just didn't work that way. I'm not angry about that.

I don't have a hate bone in my body.

I grew up under the sticks and stones rule. I didn't put my hands on you so why should you put your hands on me or my family.

I hate them with all the hate you can hate with. Can you hate more than that? If you can, I hate them more than that.

I respect people. For me to say 'hate' was a bad word, and I didn't mean to use it.

I think I have the skills. I'm a great judge of talent. I just know basketball.

I was always taught if you do something, face the piper. Try to make it right.

I'm a goodhearted person. I interact with people all the time.

I've always thought if it's not broke, why fix it?

When I see gay people holding hands or kissing in the streets, I just don't think that's right.

When your team drops out, you make the ABA look bad.

You have to look at how chemistry develops.

I didn't like how my NBA career ended because I wanted to go out on my own terms. But nobody tried to believe in me, that I could go back and play. I can still play at 39.

I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States.

I take my son to school and then I drive 45 minutes to practice with my ABA team, the Florida Pit Bulls, from 10 to 1. In the afternoon, I have meetings.

I'm not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn't go to any other team.
