People say that, but I think the NBA was bigger than Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

People will think there are no other great ballplayers. Look at Garnett. Look at Duncan, Shaq, Kobe. Look at the players with Sacramento. The have a really good basketball team.

But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.

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

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

There's so many young peoople who start to play basketball and never learn the fundamentals.

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.
