I think that basketball players should get the job done no matter how it looks on the screen.

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

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

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 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.

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.
