I was taught to play that way when I was in high school and even before I got to high school.

You look at today, it's a different situation. You have a game that has been transformed into a game where almost every shot is either an outside shot - a three-point shot - or a dunk.

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

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

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

Look, I think you should promote the game, but I think you should make it what it ought to be. Not some kind of a side-show.

I played on an all-black high school team and we didn't want people saying that we were clowns.
