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 I think the image that's thrown out on television is a bad image. Because you see players who want to imitate hip-hop stars. And the NBA is taking advantage of the situation.

You've got to learn the footwork, the positioning, how to box out, how to pass, how to shoot your free throws. All these things are necessary, not to be the No. 1 player in the world, but maybe you can play against him.

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.

Now, I guess, people want stars. People are trying to invent stars.
