Favorite Quote/Dialogue: [on becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve 27,000 points, 7,000 rebounds and 7,000 assists during the course of his career ] – I really don’t know, I don’t know what to say. I’ve played with two great organizations that I’ve been able to do what I do. They’ve allowed me to be the player that I want to be. It just shows that’s the triple threat of me, to rebound, to pass, to put the ball in the hole a little bit. I’m just honored, just blessed and I just try to continue to give it to my teammates, give it to my fans, give it to this organization every single night that I go out there.
