The thing about it is almost everyone could pass that way, but we were kept from doing it by our coaches.

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

But after that you don't see a lot of real good fundamental play. You see a showboat-type basketball which is almost parallel to street basketball.

Just fundamental things - I played guard and I played forward, so you get into a position where you are pivoting out on the court.

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 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.

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.
