I was gonna live with Todd Gill, another young player, and the general manager grabbed me by the collar, put me against the wall and said, 'You're living with a family. Find one,'

With my access, I've talked with most every owner, every general manager and every player in both leagues. There's not a lot of guys up for jobs all across baseball that can say that.

I was told by the general manager that a white player had received a higher raise than me. Because white people required more money to live than black people. That is why I wasn't going to get a raise.

In 2013, the 76ers hired Sam Hinkie as general manager and president of basketball operations.

When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren't grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude

Toughest job in baseball is the general manager. Second toughest is the hitting coach.
