A lot of times, I think broadcast commentators can get bogged down with stats and personal agendas.
When I was in the 9th or 10th grade, Cheryl was All-American, and she was getting all the pub. I thought to myself, 'Why isn't anyone paying any attention to me?' I used to wish that I wasn't Reggie Miller, that I was Reggie Smith or Reggie Jackson.
As a kid, everyone dreams of being in an All-Star game.
My personality, if I was healthy enough to play, I'm going to play! I felt that at 75, 80 percent, even if I had a sprained ankle, if I'm out there on the floor, I could be Deion Sanders.
Defenses had to play us, obviously, out to the arc, but it was really, to me, my mid-range game that was probably more dangerous than my 3-point shot.
I didn't want to be like some other guys who jump on another team's bandwagon just to get a ring.
Mountain biking is such a very small community. I just want to put the hard work in so people don't think I'm a slacker. I want the hardcore mountain bikers to respect, 'Okay, well, he did it the right way.'
I wanted to merge two worlds that were very important to me. Being able to raise money for Dropping Dimes through the sale of custom biking kits was the perfect plan.
I was a brash player, and I spoke my mind on the court.
I had four siblings. We were hiking all the time. But camping? No. I don't like the idea of the creatures at night.
When you have 20,000 people yelling and screaming at you, four other guys can concentrate on the floor. So every time I touch the basketball and everyone is yelling and chanting and doing things towards me, well, four other guys can concentrate.
Carmelo Anthony should do what makes him happy - either stay with the Knicks and be mediocre, or get with a contender and help them get over the hump.
All truly great shooters - Dale Ellis, Larry Bird, Craig Hodges, Chris Mullin - we always believed that we were the best shooters in the world.
Other teams fear me so much, just my being out there. I could even be playing on my deathbed, and I'd worry them.
Forwards are either too tall, and I'm too quick for them, or guards are too small, and I shoot over them.
Freddy Krueger, that's my boy. He's lean, and he's mean. I like scary movies, and when I had my head shaved, some people thought I looked just like him.
When you get a good workout in, you feel good for the rest of the day. It helps clear the mind.
People say I'm cold, that I'm impersonal on the court. Well, let me tell you, it's blood and guts out there.
As kids, we all wanted a bike. But a lot of people don't have that opportunity, especially in the inner city.
The reality is, I don't care about the Knicks' feelings.
