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.

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

You need a teaching coach who understands the game of basketball, not just some guy coming on the court talking about Xs and Os.

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.

It's like all guys want to do is make a dunk, grab their shirt and yell out and scream - they could be down 30 points but that's what they do. Okay, so you made a dunk. Get back down the floor on defense!

I'm sorry that the young athletes in basketball will not get the chance to play (in the Olympics) anymore, and live that dream.

But after that you don't see a lot of real good fundamental play. You see a showboat-type basketball which is almost parallel to street basketball.
