I loved Muggsy Bogues when he was in the league.
Back then, when I was a kid, I watched Vince Carter every now and then.
I've looked up to Michael Jordan because not only was he an assassin on offense, he was an assassin on defense.
You bring a car out, you're going to win any dunk contest.
I was a big Michael Jordan fan growing up. I don't feel my game resembles his though.
Against Bradley, every time I'm trying to dunk, dunk, dunk.
I hate talking about the dunk contest. I'm just so sick of the dunk contest. I'm done with that. That point of my life I'm over with.
When it gets down to it, basketball is basketball.
Obviously dunking on Horace Grant and Michael, in those circumstances, is just an incredible thing to happen. I'm happy I was able to make that play, and I'm fortunate I was in that position where I could make that happen for my team.
A lot of people I've played with see me as a scorer and a shooter. I'm still fast and everything like that, but then, when they see me dunk, it's like 'Oh, damn.'
My favorite player growing up was Julius Erving, because I loved the way he played above the rim, all of the tricks with the ball, big hands, and just phenomenal showmanship.
When I was a kid, my favorite event was the Slam Dunk Contest.
When someone throws an alley-oop and you finish, everyone's happy, the one who makes the pass and the one with the dunks. It's a great play.
I've been a dunker for longer than I've been a basketball player.
I don't like one-foot jumpers like LeBron James. It looks better jumping off two feet. Every time Michael Jordan jumped off two feet, it looked so much better.
My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.
I just aim for basketball season to start. I don't really care about anything else in life.
The game of basketball is full of runs.
Dunk, and people anywhere will ooh and aah. But you can wow a crowd in New York with ball handling and passing.
That's what everybody calls me, 'Cheat Code,' because they just throw the ball up to me.
When I come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5. It ain't to play games with you, it's to aim at you, probably maim you. If I owe you I'm blowin' you to smithereens.
He loves basketball. And I said Obama loves basketball. Let's start there, all right. Start there.
I'm a huge fan of Michael Jordan, and I love the game of basketball.
I've always thought basketball was the best sport, although it wasn't the sport I was best at. It was just the most fun to watch.
Basketball came to me and for some reason it gave me an opportunity to live a life that I didn't dream possible. But it did let me live my dreams.
