Lakers were able to maintain a certain level of talent and success and so were the Celtics. So after awhile it became part of people's sports lore...

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

In athletics there's always been a willingness to cheat if it looks like you're not cheating. I think that's just a quirk of human nature.

Reporters used to ask me the same inane questions year-in and year-out, city-to-city, and it would drive me crazy.

You got guys now declaring they're ready to play pro ball in their second or third year of high school. It's crazy! They're missing so much.

I've always tried to stay out of the fray and not be an object of controversy.

I feel that there has been progress made since I was a boy on matters of race, but we have a long way to go.
