Just because it is an All-Star Game doesn't mean that you are playing as efficiently as you should.

When you go into a game on offense, you make a couple moves and see what the defender is going to do. Then you pretty much can figure out what he is going to do against you - whether he carries his hands low or high, whether he is bumping or pushing, those type of things.

There's so many young peoople who start to play basketball and never learn the fundamentals.

I don't think that players learn how to play any other aspect of the game in high school or college.

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

They should have a rule: in order to be a sportswriter, you have to have played that sport, at some level; high school, college, junior college, somewhere. Or, you should have had to have been around the game for a long time.

If you're a basketball player, you've got to shoot.
