- I want to apologize for my offensive comments against the LGBT community. These remarks were taken from a larger interview where a reporter was asking me hypothetical questions, and all my answers had a comedic undertone. The answers I gave were meant to be taken as jokes & I am deeply sorry for offending anyone. I am open to creating a dialogue to assist the fight the LGBT community encounters daily and will continue focus on playing basketball
- I'm actually very proud of my career. In my career, I've had some ups and downs. But I'm thankful that what I put into this game helped me achieve what I was able to accomplish. Hopefully, that gives me a bid into the Hall of Fame. That was my goal as a teenager, was to become a Hall of Famer. That's what I'm still striving for.
- [after announcing his retirement from the Israeli Basketball Premier League]Although I would have liked to return for another season, the team, coach and I could not find a role that I felt would allow me to meaningfully contribute in the way I have always been accustomed to play. I feel it is my time now to return to the shareholder's position and help make this team even better. I would like to thank Hapoel Jerusalem president Ori Allon and the entire Hapoel Jerusalem organization for giving me the opportunity to retire as a champion, and doing it in the holiest of cities made it even more special
