Kobe's an incredibly talented athlete, and there are many more like him among today's players.

A team will always appreciate a great individual if he's willing to sacrifice for the group.

As brilliant an individual that Michael Jordan was, he was not successful until he got with a good team unit.

The 3-point shot has created a situation in the game akin to 'Lotto' fever.

Either because I was an athlete or because I was black - probably both - there seemed to be a clear assumption that I wouldn't be up to the work.

What I learned in my time isn't necessarily being taught now, and I'd like to help impart that knowledge to a new generation of players.

I have been coaching recently. I coached high school basketball in Arizona, and I hope that more opportunities become available.
