Every time when they would call my name I kept hearing 'New York Knicks' instead of 'Seattle SuperSonics.'

People complain that pro athletes make a lot of money; but what they don’t understand is that we need a lot of money because we spend a lot of money.

I’m just like any person who is coaching in this league, I’m just looking for an opportunity, that’s all.

I positively, positively, positively want to play. I’ve got everything else so why not a gold medal? I want to play.

People think that just because you’re a center, you’re not as smart as the guards or the smaller guys.

Winning a ring is everybody’s goal, whether you’re a player or a coach.

I’m sure at some point I will get back into coaching, but right now I need to focus completely on my kids.

I’m satisfied with the way I play, but I don’t evaluate my performances. I worry about what I can contribute defensively. I don’t need to score. As long as we win, I don’t care how many points I score.

Amare, Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups – they’re virtually unstoppable.

I’ve been to the Hall of Fame many times, in grade school and high school. I had field trips to the Hall of Fame and taking tours of it. I just never thought about that one day I possibly might be in it. I think it’d be great.
