Play The Game With A Smile.

I Started Playing Baseball And Soccer. Those Were My Sports On The Streets And In School When I Was Growing Up. I Didn't Even Start Playing Basketball Until I Was 14.

Guys Have To Look Up To Somebody. Everybody Needs To Have Their Own Role And Somebody Has To Be The Star.

Basketball For Me Has Always Been A Matter Of Rhythm - What You Do Bouncing The Ball, How You Bounce The Ball, How You Run, How You Receive The Ball To Be In Rhythm.

When People Ask Me What I Miss Most About The Game, It's Being In The Locker Room And Getting To Know The Guys. Back In Those Days, We Had Roommates. We Had To Talk Basketball And That Was A Great Way To Understand The Game Itself And Form Those Lasting Relationships.

Baltimore Was Like A Small Town When I Got There - The Colts, The Orioles, Guys Like Frank Robinson, We All Knew And Respected Each Other. Everyone Would Cross Paths At One Point At Lenny Moore's Sportsman's Lounge, Trading Stories And Having Some Fun.
