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

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

You have to teach now - tell a kid how to box out, tell him how to pass, teach him footwork. Players don't understand that anymore.

I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

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