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

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.

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

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.

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.

The thing about it is almost everyone could pass that way, but we were kept from doing it by our coaches.

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