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.

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.

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.

But after that you don't see a lot of real good fundamental play. You see a showboat-type basketball which is almost parallel to street basketball.

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

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.

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