Back when I had a cassette player in my car, I would pop in tapes (of King's broadcasts) during the drive to and from Oakland. They were a joy to listen to. He had incredible descriptive powers and was the ultimate wordsmith. He had the knack of finding the right word at the right moment.

It was at spring training in Arizona and it was my third season and the Warriors were doing really lousy. I walked into the A's press box, and Bill walked up to me and introduced himself, and said he empathized with me. He remembered when the Warriors traded Wilt Chamberlain to Philadelphia in the 1960s, and he said to stay positive.

I used to make cassette tapes but never thought about making a career of it.

She's a great player. When we needed her the most, she was there for us.

It's a little different circumstances, but you know what? When you pop the champagne, you pop the champagne. And this is just the beginning.

When I was 10, 11, 12 years old, I would pretend to be on the radio. I bought a mixer and these big, ugly headphones and I would literally broadcast the cassette tapes in my bedroom.
