“Well, (Michael) Jordan was definitely one of the kings of the game. There's no question that he was one of the more dominant figures. If you look at the top ten players of all time, he was certainly one of the most dominant guys. But there were so many dominant guys back then. Michael was a rare breed. There's no question about that. He did things that a lot of players could never do, and still to this day players can't do those things, so the honors that he's had are definitely deserved.”

“I knew it would happen. Just when was the question. But at this point in time, it doesn't matter if it happened last year or now. It's done. That's the most important thing to me.”
