From the Publisher
"I think I basically played for an idea, which is how close I could come to being at my best. I put some hard work into that, and I had the good fortune to have been given talent, and I was lucky enough not to have gotten hurt. I always knew [that] would have to end.... People find new heroes."
--Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, reflecting on his career
"Magic [is] outstanding. Unreal. I knew he was good, but I never realized he was this great."
--Philadelphia guard Doug Collins, having just played Magic Johnson
