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

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

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.

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.

When I came into the league, once a team drafted you, they owned you forever. If they didn't like the clothes you wore, or the car you drove, they could blackball you.

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

When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have to change up the way you go at a player.
