There's no nights off in the NBA. That's what makes it so special. That's why everyone loves the game.
I've played at Rucker Park a couple of times. It's cold blooded. It's hype in there, real hype.
KG is Minnesota basketball, he is the Timberwolves - what he did, just the intensity he brought to the game.
In the NBA you better come to play every night, where in the NBDL the talent level just isn't there and maybe you have guys taking a night off.
Kobe was obsessed with the game of basketball.
It's tough at first. You realize in the NBA, it's not easy. Each and every night, you're playing against that player that was the best high school player, that player that was the best player on his college team.
I grew up in the '80s in an era that was tough. The Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason. It wasn't dirty. It was just men playing basketball.
Magic is crazy. He is that crazy wild guy on the basketball court that is very intense and very serious. He is the guy who lives and eats and breathes basketball. Magic is a guy who would stand for nothing but winning and really prepared himself as well as he prepared his team. Earvin is the complete opposite.
