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

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 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.

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

When I started playing, I wasn't fast, I was gangly, my jumpshot was terrible.

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.

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.
