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

It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race.

Some players are more physical than others, some play with more finesse. Some are just really great all-around players. So you have to change your game.

The players have no real self-esteem when it comes to putting the best image out there in a real competitive fashion.

You've got to learn the footwork, the positioning, how to box out, how to pass, how to shoot your free throws. All these things are necessary, not to be the No. 1 player in the world, but maybe you can play against him.

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

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