very doubtful, for the game.

Detroit is playing good and all four of those guys deserve to be here. But this game has always been about style and flamboyance. I think that will show up more. At the end of a year, when a team wins a championship, they talk about teamwork. At an All-Star Game, it's all about dunks, the lobs and the shooting.

Challenge me. Treat me like a game of checkers and play me. That's all I'm asking, just play me. Treat me like Sega and play me.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

If you got the game, you got the game. That's why Tiger Woods is out there playing golf with Greg Norman.

That is why one day I said my game will be like the Pythagorean Theorem - hard to figure out. A lot of people really don't know the Pythagorean Theory. They don't make them like me anymore. They don't want to make them like that anymore.
