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.

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

But when I did it (the triple-double), I didn't even know it until someone told me.

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.

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

They should have a rule: in order to be a sportswriter, you have to have played that sport, at some level; high school, college, junior college, somewhere. Or, you should have had to have been around the game for a long time.

Just because it is an All-Star Game doesn't mean that you are playing as efficiently as you should.
