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

People say that, but I think the NBA was bigger than Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

But after that you don't see a lot of real good fundamental play. You see a showboat-type basketball which is almost parallel to street basketball.

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 no one has written a history of the great coaches who were around 30 to 40 years ago who taught the fundamentals.

It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.

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.
