He's helped me do so much in my career, helped me be the player that I am. If there's no Larry Brown, then there's no MVP, Allen Iverson.

I had a successful career: not necessarily a Hall of Fame career, but a successful one.

I think the greatest player I've ever played against was Magic Johnson. Next, was Larry Bird. Then, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

But what I'd really like to tell you is I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame. Standing here with all these great players was beyond any of my dreams.

I owe a large part of my success to Joe Brown, who helped me both as a player and a person.

My top three were Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain and Bo Jackson.

My Hall of Fame speech was about respect for the game.

I was a starter and did some good things there, and then I got a chance to prove myself as a closer. Because of that opportunity, I was blessed with the honor of being elected to the Hall of Fame.

The best player I ever coached was Gary Payton.

I still say one of the greatest moments in my whole NBA career was getting drafted.
