Basketball is basketball.

When you go into a game on offense, you make a couple moves and see what the defender is going to do. Then you pretty much can figure out what he is going to do against you - whether he carries his hands low or high, whether he is bumping or pushing, those type of things.

I don't think that players learn how to play any other aspect of the game in high school or college.

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

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

The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don't know, these guys today don't want to do anything like that.

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.
