“I never got tired. I was always in top condition.”

“Every time I stepped on the court, I gave it everything I had.”

“My father always told me, 'Do your best and don't worry about the rest.'”

“If you are not a competitor, you have just eliminated yourself from the race.”

“Whether I start or come off the bench, I'm going to be on the floor at the end of the game.”

“You can't be afraid to take the big shot. You have to want to be in that position.”

“Winning never gets old.”

“You can't sit back and wait for it to happen, you have to make it happen.”

“It's not about the individual stats, it's about the team's success.”

“I was just a guy who loved to play basketball and compete.”

“The tradition of the Celtics is all about winning championships.”

“I played on the best basketball team ever, the '60s Celtics, and then I played on one of the most entertaining teams ever, the '70s Celtics.”

“The key to winning is to play together as a team. That's what we did on the Celtics.”
