You look at today, it's a different situation. You have a game that has been transformed into a game where almost every shot is either an outside shot - a three-point shot - or a dunk.

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.

The triple-double is just a stat. It's a test of your strength and stamina and playing ability, really.

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.

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

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

When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.
