When I started playing, I wasn't fast, I was gangly, my jumpshot was terrible.

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.

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