On being famous: Being famous is like being the homecoming queen: All the ugly girls hate you. That’s what’s it’s like. It’s also like being smart. All the dumb kids hate you.
Quote:
On what he would tell a young athlete about Twitter: I would say stay away but there is a never a right or wrong answer. No matter what you say half the people are going to agree with you and half the people are going to disagree with you. That’s the one thing that sucks about being in the limelight
Quote:
On guarding LeBron James if he were in his basketball prime:
I believe you have to push him left because every time he goes left he shoots a jumper. Every time he goes right he is going to the basket.

On meeting John F. Kennedy Jr.:

Quote:
On trying to avoid being drafted by the Sixers in 1984 by gaining 20 pounds in 48 hours prior to a pre-draft workout in Philadelphia: I get down to 283 and the night before we fly into Philly my agent said, “You do know if the Sixers draft you they are going to give you $75,000, right?” I said, “Dude, I didn’t leave college for $75,000. We have a problem.” He said, “You weigh about 283 now. What do you want to do? You beat their weight limit.” I said, “Let’s go out.”
