The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.
It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.
Where ever the Mavericks are today, we owe it to Michael Finley. He was the one guy who stayed when we were a terrible team. He stayed and fought the fight.
Everybody likes each other until things get tough. Then you will find out what kind of team you have, and I understand that as much as anyone.
The 50 greatest players don't matter when you're in the Hall of Fame. We all know that I was not one of the 50 greatest, I was one of the 25 greatest - in my mind.
I was an all-around player - if I was just a scorer, there's no way the Hawks would have won 50 games four years in a row.
Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.

You know, 10 years ago I never thought I'd be in this position. It's a dream and I don't even know if I dreamed this big.
It's always a dream to be on the cover, it's one of the things an athlete always aspires to do, to be on the cover of a videogame, but I never thought I would get to do it this quick.
Yeah, I play a lot of point guard. LeBron plays a lot of point guard. A lot of people are thinking too much on positions.
To wear a gray tweed suit, you have to be mature and confident in yourself. Some people can't pull it off.
As I grew up, I became aware that there are people with special needs out there, and I have a real connection with them.
Style is the most valuable asset of the modern artist. That's probably why so many styles are reported lost or stolen each year.
I've never understood why artists, who so often condescend to the cliches of their own culture, are so eager to embrace the cliches of cultures they know nothing about.
Many people decorate their homes with designer graffiti, even though most of them would probably have real graffiti scoured off the walls of their buildings.
