Best DWest Quote to Date… “But more important than becoming an All-Star, I want to win a championship
ring. The day I get that ring, I am going to hang it on a shoelace and tie
it around my neck. Then I’m going to get a pair of the sunglasses that Dwayne
Wayne wore in the show “A Different World” and visit ever state
in the country on a moped wearing nothing but the ring, those sunglasses
and a pair of Chuck Taylors with the inscription “What Would Jesus
Do?” written on the sides. I’m serious!”

“One more thing: When we’re on the yacht eating, we’re going to have some Popeyes chicken. That’s for dinner. It’s to let her know, put a mental image on her mind, first and foremost, if you ain’t from the hood, you don’t like Popeyes chicken. Everyone there loves Popeyes chicken and the biscuits — phew. But that’s just getting it on her mind, saying, you know, ‘Yeah, I can wine and dine you, but I’m a little rough around the edges and I’m keeping it real with you. I can be romantic, but this is real, we’re going to eat some chicken tonight. Chicken and biscuits.’” (ESPN.com: Page 2 : Flowers, Popeye’s and Romance)

“Pop some bottles, some Moet Rose. The red Moet, we ain’t popping no Kristal, it tastes like urination. We ain’t popping no Kris, that’s $500 a bottle. It ain’t that serious. It ain’t going to get you drunk. Make sure you put that in there. We ain’t doing a $500 bottle, we’re doing a $99 wine and dine.” (ESPN.com: Page 2 : Flowers, Popeye’s and Romance)

“You know, with the female readers, I might get me a superstar off this one. I might get me Beyonce or something. OK, now listen to this, so put this in there, OK, so from driving the car, let’s be real. I started off wining and dining and Rico Suave-ing it, then I’m going to have to hold to it and realistically, she’s not going to get that every day.” (ESPN.com: Page 2 : Flowers, Popeye’s and Romance)

“From there, I’d have the music pumping on the radio. The Jim Jones pumping, you know, ‘Summer in Miami’ song pumping. Got to keep a little gangsta, you can’t be too soft. You can’t be in there playing some guy that’s crying, talking about don’t leave me and love me baby, wah wah and all that. So Jim Jones pumping and then from there, wind blowing through the hair, boom, we get straight to the point — we eat afterwards because I don’t want to kiss no onions. I don’t want to kiss you tasting like onions and steak and mushrooms and everything.” (ESPN.com: Page 2 : Flowers, Popeye’s and Romance)


‘‘He was excited,’’ said West. ‘‘He was hitting his shots. They were having their way with us. I can’t knock it. I didn’t even notice until I saw the highlights after the game. I guess he had some emotions he wanted to get off his chest. He was just skipping down the Yellow Brick Road in the Wizard of Oz.’’ — (On Mark Bount’s game and attitude, Postgame, Feb. 02, 2006)


-”Bugs Bunny is the smoothest dude I ever met. You know, he be chillin’, like it just be a normal day and he- it be cold just like how it is in Boston and he just want to dive in the ground, pop up, and he be like, ‘oh man, this ain’t Albuquerque.’ That’s got to be the tightest life, you just hop underneath the ground and go! No traffic, no Mass Pike, no tolls, no lights, no taking Yankees hats off- just underneath the ground…BAM…carrots…Albuquerque. It might seem crazy to you, but it’s just a different way of expressing myself. I think it’s kind of freaky.”
“My game is not speed. My game is finesse…and sexy…and chocolate…and all that good stuff.” (FSN New England)


Q: Why does your tattoo say ‘REDZ’?
A: I’m the only one in the family who came out with red hair. My brother and sister both have black hair, so I came out with kinda fair skin and red hair, and that kinda stuck with me. People always called me ‘Red’. — Tuesday, January 24th Chat Transcript
