At the point when I lost my father, it really made me want to be like a father and be like my father. It was a real turning point for me because it helped me mature - it made me think about being responsible because I wasn't the only one I had to think about.
Playing with Michael Jordan would be a great opportunity for me. I would have someone around I could learn a lot from. I look up to him as a player and as a person, and that would make me a better player and person.
Some guys get into the NBA, get the big money, and are satisfied with themselves.
Yes, I think the '96 Bulls are the greatest of all time. I think the 72-10 record speaks for itself and the fact that we were able to cap it off with a championship. What it boils down to is we had a dominant style, a dominant defense, and we were a very good offensive team. It was the way we dominated our opponents that separated ourselves.
To be in a position where an organization like the Bulls creates a bust of you that will permanently be displayed in a building like the United Center says it all. It's hard to put into words because it is such an honor. It's great to know that something like that will be around forever.
I remember the night in December 2005 when the Bulls retired my number and will never, ever forget it.
There's nothing like the camaraderie of being around the other players.
I'll miss the competitive side and the camaraderie of being around the players and competing each and every day.
As a player, you experience so many different moments, but you never truly sit back and reflect on them. You enjoy them, but with the championships, we were so busy celebrating with everyone that we didn't really realize what we had accomplished as individuals and as a team.
I always dreamed of playing the NBA, but along the way, the road got a little cloudy.
I'm no slouch, but when comparing LeBron's game, I'm usually left out.
I'm a guy who is easy to get along with, and I'll put up with a lot of things. But not dishonesty.
My mentality when guarding a point guard was always to try and disrupt him and take them out of the offense.
I think when you come from a small college like I did, then you have to use every opportunity available to you.
I'm a family man, and I couldn't be happier. My wife and I have been blessed with an incredible family, and my kids are my life.
Fatherhood is great.
If I had an opportunity to hand-pick a team that I wanted to play in the NBA Finals, it would probably be the Lakers.
I was way behind physically in high school. They had weight bars that were about forty-five pounds. I couldn't handle them. Couldn't even put the weights on. It was embarrassing. So I always figured out ways to avoid lifting when I was young.
Every team deals with obstacles throughout the course of the season, and it's as a unit that they need to be worked through. Injuries are part of the game, just like facing tough teams on the road or having one of your best players get into foul trouble.
I take a lot of pride in my first '92 gold medal.
