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

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.

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.

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.

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

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