I'm not a jealous guy.

I'm a big fan of Marcus Smart.

I don't give a damn about MVP.

I did a lot of things I regret.

Way to rock lil' homie. Much Love.

I've loved my days at Oregon State.

My father and my brother are chefs.

My family played a big part of my success.

You can't regret anything - it's over with.

I haven't gotten in any trouble off the floor.

The Glove is in the Hall of Fame with the greats.

I will not go to Oklahoma and retire my jersey there.

I want to finish my career in Seattle but it's rocky.

Gary Payton is evolving, but GP is in the Hall of Fame.

Not being able to rebound better was a thorn in our foot.

Seattle deserves a team. They got robbed of their basketball team.

I can't think ok, I got 35 points, he got 35, I did something good.

You don't hear about me being at parties, going out and gettin' drunk.

I've always liked Deron Williams because has the same mentality as me.

I like comfortable clothes, so I get most of my pants and shirts made.

If Seattle could put my jersey on top of the Space Needle, they would.

As people know in coaching, you can get fired and hired just like that.

There was a lot of temptation to do lots of bad things in my neighborhood.

Wilt Chamberlain, by far, is my best basketball player. Best athlete ever.

No one superstar can win a championship by himself. You've got to have help.

The point guards that I like are the ones that are playing like point guards.

What's the difference? Ninety million or 80 million. You still can't spend it all.

Patrick Beverley is one of my favorites. What he does is he brings a lot of energy.

I'm not going to sit here and dwell on whether or not I am going to the Hall of Fame.

I own 60 retro jerseys. I've got everybody - the late Derrick Thomas, a lot of people.

When we were playing, it was rough and tough. Even superstars like me fouled out a lot.

The NBA tries to be about flash. But real fans recognize the guy who makes things happen.

Part of being a leader means knowing who you can go after and who you should pat on the butt.

Assistants like Tim Grgurich worked with me and watched film of me from my Oregon State days.

Guys like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, they'll take bad criticism in a good way.

I was guarding the best player and getting 25 and having eight assists, and three-four steals.

I don't need to be in New York. If you've had a bad game, they're booing you and all that mess.

I've done did a lot of things in the NBA, made a lot of stuff, so I'm happy with what I've done.

I hope they'll say I was one of the hardest-working basketball players on both ends of the floor.

I was really scared when I went to Oregon State. I wasn't sure I could play at the college level.

I like Draymond Green's intensity... but every time I didn't get a call I didn't cry all the time.

George Gervin was my childhood idol since I was little. In Oakland I had all his posters on my wall.

I think if you ask any young guy if they would want a career like Gary Payton, they would tell you yes.

You've got to be on all-league teams before you can say that you are going to be a great basketball player.

Tim Hardaway was a guy who had his crossover and then he could shoot a jump shot and he could get to the bucket.

Basketball has turned into an offensive-minded situation. They don't play on both ends. They don't play defense.

Coming from Oakland, Calif., I never thought I'd be a Hall of Famer. I wasn't thinking about basketball like that.

Larry Bird was a talker. He'd tell you something and you'd be like, are you kidding me? You're really telling me that?

It is much easier to be the hunter than the hunted. When you are the one not expected to do anything, you play better.

I'm not going to go to a team that's losing. I think that would be disrespectful to me to trade me to somebody like that.
