Now, I guess, people want stars. People are trying to invent stars.

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.

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.

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

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

You don't cut anywhere, don't pick down anywhere, don't double screen, no weak side picking. All these things that should happen in a game of basketball don't happen anymore.

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.
