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

You have to teach now - tell a kid how to box out, tell him how to pass, teach him footwork. Players don't understand that anymore.

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

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.

It's like all guys want to do is make a dunk, grab their shirt and yell out and scream - they could be down 30 points but that's what they do. Okay, so you made a dunk. Get back down the floor on defense!

There's so many young peoople who start to play basketball and never learn the fundamentals.

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.
