I think that teaching coaches are the norm now.

I don't think that players learn how to play any other aspect of the game in high school or college.

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

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.

You need a teaching coach who understands the game of basketball, not just some guy coming on the court talking about Xs and Os.

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.

I don't know hardly any of the players who have the in-between game like me, who can go to any position on the court.
