But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.

The triple-double is just a stat. It's a test of your strength and stamina and playing ability, really.

The thing about it is almost everyone could pass that way, but we were kept from doing it by our coaches.

The players have no real self-esteem when it comes to putting the best image out there in a real competitive fashion.

But when I did it (the triple-double), I didn't even know it until someone told me.

Now, I guess, people want stars. People are trying to invent stars.

When I started playing, I wasn't fast, I was gangly, my jumpshot was terrible.
