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

But when I did it (the triple-double), I didn't even know it until someone told me.

College coaches want to power the ball inside, they want (their post players) to power the ball up, but no one can shoot from that 15-foot area anymore.

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

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

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.

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.
