 I don't think that players learn how to play any other aspect of the game in high school or college. |
| Who do I think was the greatest? This might shock you: Elgin Baylor. He did so many great things. Nobody could guard him, playing in the forward spot. I'd love to see some of today's greats playing against Elgin. They couldn't guard him. Nobody could. |
| The thing about it is almost everyone could pass that way, but we were kept from doing it by our coaches. |
| When you go into a game on offense, you make a couple moves and see what the defender is going to do. Then you pretty much can figure out what he is going to do against you - whether he carries his hands low or high, whether he is bumping or pushing, those type of things. |
| 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. |
| If you're a basketball player, you've got to shoot. |
| Now, I guess, people want stars. People are trying to invent stars. |
| I think that everyone should be able to dribble. Everyone should be able to pass. Otherwise, why are you out there? |
| I was taught to play that way when I was in high school and even before I got to high school. |
| 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. |
