Notable quotes
“I'm 6'11" and 13/16". So just a shade under.”
“You should wear a cowbell so you don't sneak up on people. Sneak up on people? You block out the sun. Can't they see the shadow from a mile away?”
“If I told you, 'Hey, this is a big shot, hit it. We're going to win or we're going to lose.' I'd get all nervous and I'd miss the shot. And he just he tricked my brain and say, 'Hey, we need three snack bars, get the first one.'”
“I've always wanted to be good. But I think more importantly, I've just wanted to have fun. And if I have to disassemble this game down to its elements, I'm not interested. I wanted to keep it whole and pure.”
“There must be something wrong with me because this is all I want to do. And I'm sick and I need help. And then all I did instead of getting help is I found other people that like to do that as well.”
“I wasn't a college student anymore, so I don't have to study. I'm a professional basketball player. And my job on a non-game day is probably between 11 in the afternoon until 2. So I had a lot of downtime.”
“The problem with pinball is you've got more time to actually reflect and that can make things worse.”
