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

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.

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

I played when I played, and played, I think, against the greatest players in the greatest time in the history of basketball.

But if people are buying the products, naturally they're gonna use them.

When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have to change up the way you go at a player.
