The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don't know, these guys today don't want to do anything like that.

But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.

I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.

The players have no real self-esteem when it comes to putting the best image out there in a real competitive fashion.

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

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

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