I Wish I Had Stayed

Getting The Degree Meant More To Me Than An Ncaa Title, Being Named All-american Or Winning An Olympic Gold Medal.

I Think The People Here In New York Appreciated What I Brought To The Table, And They Showed It When I Retired By The Way They Came Out And Supported Me, And It Meant A Lot To Me. It Made Me Feel Like I Am A Part Of This City, And I Will Remain A Part Of This City.

I Never Knew What Basketball Was. I Started Playing On The Playground. People Used To Laugh At Me And Joke At Me Because I Was So Tall And I Didn't Know The Game And Couldn't Play It.

If I Want To Average 32 Points A Game, I Can Do That Easily. It's Just Eight, Eight, Eight, Eight. No Problem. I Can Do That Anytime. That's Not Being Cocky. That's Confidence.

The Greatest Players Fit With The Team. They Play Within The Team's Style, Rather Than Asking The Team To Change Its Style.
