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

I played on an all-black high school team and we didn't want people saying that we were clowns.

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

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

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!

You don't cut anywhere, don't pick down anywhere, don't double screen, no weak side picking. All these things that should happen in a game of basketball don't happen anymore.
