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

You don't cut anywhere, don't pick down anywhere, don't double screen, no weak side picking. All these things that should happen in a game of basketball don't happen anymore.

I played when I played, and played, I think, against the greatest players in the greatest time in the history of basketball.

When you go into a game on offense, you make a couple moves and see what the defender is going to do. Then you pretty much can figure out what he is going to do against you - whether he carries his hands low or high, whether he is bumping or pushing, those type of things.

I think that teaching coaches are the norm now.

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 everyone should be able to dribble. Everyone should be able to pass. Otherwise, why are you out there?
