I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have to change up the way you go at a player.

I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.

Some players are more physical than others, some play with more finesse. Some are just really great all-around players. So you have to change your game.

I played when I played, and played, I think, against the greatest players in the greatest time in the history of basketball.

I think that everyone should be able to dribble. Everyone should be able to pass. Otherwise, why are you out there?

You have to teach now - tell a kid how to box out, tell him how to pass, teach him footwork. Players don't understand that anymore.

But I think the image that's thrown out on television is a bad image. Because you see players who want to imitate hip-hop stars. And the NBA is taking advantage of the situation.

We're all Americans trying to compete. Magic was competing for his team and Larry for his team.

Is there anything that satisfy the soul like the Truth?

MISERICORDE, n. A dagger which in mediaeval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.

If you try to please everybody, somebody's not going to like it.

To be conscious of Being, you need to reclaim consciousness from the mind. This is one of the most essential tasks on your spiritual journey.

Sometimes the best way to learn is to return to the fundamentals.

The word of God is full of sad and grave counsel, full of the knowledge of God, of examples of virtues, and of correction of vices, of the end of this life, and of the life to come.

I lived in an area where there were a lot of rock musicians, and we got together regularly in our studios.

You should never trust a man who has only one way to spell a word.

JESUS WILL LIFT you out of the deepest pit, but He will not lift you out of your easy chair.

When your blood is found at the murder scene, that's the end of the ball game, there's nothing more to say.
