But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.

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

It's like all guys want to do is make a dunk, grab their shirt and yell out and scream - they could be down 30 points but that's what they do. Okay, so you made a dunk. Get back down the floor on defense!

I think that basketball players should get the job done no matter how it looks on the screen.

You have to teach now - tell a kid how to box out, tell him how to pass, teach him footwork. Players don't understand that anymore.

You see what happens in college and high school games today - a three-point shot or a dunk. I think that's the reason that you see a lot of that in the pros today.

There's so many young peoople who start to play basketball and never learn the fundamentals.
