I'm afraid of the skeletons in my closet. I've got a whole cemetery full of them.

Adrian Dantley is a guy that I looked at . . . on how to maneuver my body around.

I read that heavy drinking is bad for your health. I decided I better stop reading.

I don't listen to the refs. I don't listen to anyone who makes less money than I do.

If all babies are so cute, how the hell do we have so many ugly people in the world?

This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.

I didnt wear the pink panties because I didnt want America going crazy with excitement.

I think that the team that wins game five will win the series. Unless we lose game five.

When you get arrested it's in big letters. When you get acquitted it's in small letters.

Fans have this perception that they can say anything to you because you are a celebrity.

Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years and they're still poor.

I played against him (Wilkins) in college. Getting nominated with him, that's pretty cool.

We're the only ethnic group that says, 'Hey, if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.'

This place? Nothing positive. OK, I want to say something positive. It's positively a dump.

I'm just what America needs: another unemployed black man. (on his retirement from basketball)

I think Nick Saban is the greatest college football coach in history over there in Tuscaloosa.

I'm not going to waste my time worrying about these Confederate statues. That's wasted energy.

I'm not going to waste my time screaming at a neo-Nazi who is going to hate me no matter what.

Hey Steve, no offense, but if you couldn't shoot, there would be no reason for you to be alive.

They don't let many black people in the governor's mansion in Alabama, unless they're cleaning.

I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.

All I know is, as long as I led the Southeastern Conference in scoring, my grades would be fine.

We're just playing basketball. It's not like we're going out to have unprotected sex with Magic.

I don't think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.

Anybody who walks out peacefully, who protests peacefully, that's what this country was built on.

You know it's going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black.

I don't know what that gas is made of, but it can't smell any worse than Ernie Johnson 's gym bag.

Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.

If Michael Jordan was a damn plumber, he couldn't get a date. Any guy got $500 million looks good.

Just because you say something doesn't make it controversial, and it doesn't make you a bad person.

People always say he can run and he can jump. So can a deer and you wouldn't put a deer in the game.

Everybody in the world has an ego. The only difference between us is we have a reason to have an ego.

I accept the media for what they are. Most of them are really good people. Some of them are scumbags.

I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.

We only put the negative black people on television. We don't put the good, hard-working black people.

If I got a chance to play with another great player, I want to do that. I mean, the objective is to win.

He'll never be Jordan. This clearly takes him out of the conversation. He can win as much as he wants to.

He's got to bring something stronger than that. That's like bringing milk to a bar, it's not strong enough

It drives me crazy when guys making $30 million are complaining about playing basketball two days in a row.

You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right.

My idea of religion is we are supposed to bring people together. We are not supposed to judge other people.

My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.

Everything gets blamed on the Clintons, every single thing in this world. I think Bill Clinton shot JFK, too.

One of the reasons I don't trust the media is you can't have a double standard for guys you like and dislike.

I don't create controversies. They're there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.

America is divided by economics, and we as Americans, we've got to do a better job of supporting poor people.

People always say turn the other cheek. If you turn the other cheek, I'm gonna hit you in the other cheek too.

See, my hope and dream is that people have a good time watching basketball. It's not church. It's not serious.

If I'm going to be straightforward, like I always try to be, I know guys are going to come back at me sometimes.

Everybody wants to talk about black and white, when the situation is really about rich people against poor people.
