If you're a basketball player, you've got to shoot.

I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

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

Just fundamental things - I played guard and I played forward, so you get into a position where you are pivoting out on the court.

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.

When I came into the league, once a team drafted you, they owned you forever. If they didn't like the clothes you wore, or the car you drove, they could blackball you.

When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.
