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.

I don't know hardly any of the players who have the in-between game like me, who can go to any position on the court.

I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.

Who do I think was the greatest? This might shock you: Elgin Baylor. He did so many great things. Nobody could guard him, playing in the forward spot. I'd love to see some of today's greats playing against Elgin. They couldn't guard him. Nobody could.

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

Actually, Magic and the Lakers beat Philadelphia for Magic's first NBA Championship.
