Just fundamental things - I played guard and I played forward, so you get into a position where you are pivoting out on the court.

I played when I played, and played, I think, against the greatest players in the greatest time in the history of basketball.

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

I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

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

But I think the image that's thrown out on television is a bad image. Because you see players who want to imitate hip-hop stars. And the NBA is taking advantage of the situation.

You need a teaching coach who understands the game of basketball, not just some guy coming on the court talking about Xs and Os.
