I think that teaching coaches are the norm now.

People will think there are no other great ballplayers. Look at Garnett. Look at Duncan, Shaq, Kobe. Look at the players with Sacramento. The have a really good basketball team.

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.

I played when I played, and played, I think, against the greatest players in the greatest time in the history of basketball.

You see what happens in college and high school games today - a three-point shot or a dunk. I think that's the reason that you see a lot of that in the pros today.

When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.

I'm sorry that the young athletes in basketball will not get the chance to play (in the Olympics) anymore, and live that dream.
