Limits, Like Fear, Is Often An Illusion.

The Game Of Basketball Has Been Everything To Me. My Place Of Refuge, Place I've Always Gone Where I Needed Comfort And Peace. It's Been The Site Of Intense Pain And The Most Intense Feelings Of Joy And Satisfaction. It's A Relationship That Has Evolved Over Time, Given Me The Greatest Respect And Love For The Game.

I Can Never Stop Working Hard. Each Day I Feel That I Have To Improve. Hardwork...determination...i Gotta Keep Pushing Myself.

Great Players Never Look In The Mirror And Think I'm A Great Basketball Player. You Ask Yourself, Am I The Best Player I Can Be?

I Was In Chicago In 1994 And At This Time I Had No Thoughts Of Coming Back And Playing The Game Of Basketball, Bryon Russell Came Over To Me And Said, "why'd You Quit? You Know I Could Guard You." When I Did Come Back In 1995 And We Played Utah In '96, I'm At The Center Circle And Bryon Russell Is Standing Next To Me. I Said, "you Remember What You Said In 1994 About, 'i Think I Can Guard You, I Can Shut You Down, I Would Love To Play Against You?' Well, You're About To Get Your Chance.

I Will Not Quit This Game Because Of What The Media Has Done To Me.
