When you play against different people from all walks of life you can't do the same thing against every player defensively or offensively. You have t….

I think no one has written a history of the great coaches who were around 30 to 40 years ago who taught the fundamentals..

Actually, Magic and the Lakers beat Philadelphia for Magic's first NBA Championship..

I think that everyone should be able to dribble. Everyone should be able to pass. Otherwise, why are you out there?.

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