Basketball is basketball.

But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.

I think no one has written a history of the great coaches who were around 30 to 40 years ago who taught the fundamentals.

I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.

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

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

When I came into the league, once a team drafted you, they owned you forever. If they didn't like the clothes you wore, or the car you drove, they could blackball you.
