The players have no real self-esteem when it comes to putting the best image out there in a real competitive fashion.

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

People say that, but I think the NBA was bigger than Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

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.

Actually, Magic and the Lakers beat Philadelphia for Magic's first NBA Championship.

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

It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.
