We can never thank David Stern enough. His vision to use basketball to improve the quality of our lives to make this world a better and saner place, that guy, is the most important man in the history of basketball.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's easy to be a spokesman and ambassador for a great organization like the NBA. I thank Commissioner David Stern for putting that trust in me to serve the NBA around the globe.
It is a very humbling honor to be selected as a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Michael Jordan was a tremendous basketball player.
What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
I want to thank God, obviously for the health, for the talent He's given me, for my family who supports me, for the things that basketball's taught me on and off the court. For the people that I've been able to meet through the game of basketball.
If you're a basketball player and you don't stop and take pictures with your fans, you can have an amazing game and everyone still loves you.
There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.
What is there about basketball that makes Larry Bird or Lenny Wilkens want to coach after their playing careers are done?
Coach Wooden, when he speaks, you listen. I've taken a lot of things from him and his little blue book because to him, it's not just about basketball, it's about life as well.
I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.
