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

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

I'm sorry that the young athletes in basketball will not get the chance to play (in the Olympics) anymore, and live that dream.

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

College coaches want to power the ball inside, they want (their post players) to power the ball up, but no one can shoot from that 15-foot area anymore.

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.

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.
