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.

Basketball is basketball.

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.

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

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.

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

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