“I just think that everybody likes good things. Everybody likes dogs, everybody likes to feel good and believe the best in people.”

“I swim to stay healthy and try to stay as busy as I can.”

“I have really good legs for jumping. I have terrible ankles for landing. I wasn't as good fundamentally as John Stockton or Steve Nash, so I had to play like an athlete, in the air all the time, coming down in vulnerable positions.”

“Well, I tapped into maybe arguably the worst rule in basketball. I wish they would just take it out or amend it greatly. It's a terrible rule, block or charge. I shouldn't be able to stand there and it's a foul. Come on!”

“I'm an addict. I've been one my whole life. Most of it was channeled in the right direction, whether it was playing basketball or working out. From the time I was little, my mom said I always needed to be entertained.”

“I try not to cancel people. But at some point, we got to stand up and say, hey, right is right, wrong is wrong.”

“And I hate to bring this up because I'm a 47-year-old man, but I think I was always wanting my dad's approval. We knew he loved us, but he was a different generation.”

“There are many that I will not post. I'm not trying to show a blatant death. I'm trying to show something funny that, every now and then, pushes the envelope a little bit.”

“Individual performance doesn't mean anything to me.”

“I was getting so down on social media because of the political climate and everything on Twitter was so toxic that I wanted off of it.”

“I'm not a journalist, never pretend to be.”

“I realized I'd built up walls and carried grudges for years. I had a lot of animosity, dating back to when I was growing up, toward people who told me that what I was doing datingwise was wrong.”

“I love the University of Kentucky. I bleed blue.”

“I've been recognized for much of my life but I learned that when I was fatter I am less recognizable so I got fat but then it almost killed me.”

“I treat Twitter like I'm talking to my friends.”

“My home state of Kentucky has been especially hard hit. In 2015, more than 1,300 Kentuckians died after drug overdoses, many with opioids in their system. That's about four per day.”

“I played basketball at Kentucky in 1986-87 and '87-88 and enjoyed a 12-year NBA career. After multiple injuries and seven surgeries, I developed an addiction to prescription painkillers.”

“I'm not going to just refrain from giving information I hear just because it might upset some people.”

“I had a good career, but I still feel like I should have done more. It wasn't through a lack of trying. I just couldn't stay healthy.”

“I used to enjoy back-picking big guys all the time.”
