I think the greatest all-around athlete ever was Jim Brown. He played lacrosse, basketball and ran track at Syracuse. He played professional football for the Browns. ↗

I used to play basketball and I was pretty competitive, but I was never a bad loser. I never got angry. For me it was always about doing my best and devoting myself to a challenge. ↗

In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people, to travel and expand my financial capabilities, to get ideas and learn about life, to create a world apart from basketball. ↗

Competing in both track and field and basketball for the Bruins I have a lot of great memories to choose from. But my all-time favorite moment in collegiate sports has to be in 1982 when we won UCLA's first NCAA title in track. ↗

I really do miss playing basketball. I don't play a lot of pick-up games. But I do like using basketball as a form of cross training. ↗

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. ↗

I love the flow of the game. There's a certain fluidity to basketball. I don't enjoy watching baseball or football in the same way. ↗
