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

We're all Americans trying to compete. Magic was competing for his team and Larry for his team.

People will think there are no other great ballplayers. Look at Garnett. Look at Duncan, Shaq, Kobe. Look at the players with Sacramento. The have a really good basketball team.

Look, I think you should promote the game, but I think you should make it what it ought to be. Not some kind of a side-show.

College coaches want to power the ball inside, they want (their post players) to power the ball up, but no one can shoot from that 15-foot area anymore.

I was taught to play that way when I was in high school and even before I got to high school.

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.
