"In the NBA, it used to be the Knicks versus the Bullets, the Bucks versus the Celtics," he said. "Now it's Shaq versus Yao Ming. What's that? That's not basketball. That's tennis."
"I'm serious. That's what's wrong with our game today. The guys who saved the NBA, Bird and Magic, they did it with the pass, they didn't do it with the shot. Now everybody thinks the game is about the shot."
"But you watched Red Holzman, you heard him talking about hitting the open man, playing unselfish basketball. That's the way the game is supposed to be played. It's about the pass, it's not about the shot."
"It's unfortunate. I don't think people really appreciate a good team these days, and I mean team in every sense of the word."
