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.

You see what happens in college and high school games today - a three-point shot or a dunk. I think that's the reason that you see a lot of that in the pros today.

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

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.

I don't know hardly any of the players who have the in-between game like me, who can go to any position on the court.

This is where young players today want to land. They want to be NBA players because of the money.

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.
