I coached Derrick Thomas for the first three years of his career. He was a special player.
I've always been a big-time Scottie Pippen fan. That was my guy growing up!
[Tyson Chandler] doesn't listen to people either. He does whatever he feels like and people will be like, "Who dressed you?"
Without question, no hesitation, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the best player I ever played against.
I think Giannis can be a LeBron-type player, like an all-world, Hall of Famer, MVP, legend, one of the best ever. He's doing the right things to put himself in that situation. I think he will get there.
I think Kevin Garnett is going to be really good at some point.
Troy Polamalu was a fascinating player, and that made him.
Andre Tippett was an impact player who consistently played at a level that set him apart. Accounting for him limited what an offense could do. He made quarterbacks nervous.and rightly so.
The NBA has never drafted a player for defense. At any position, even at center.
I want to be the defensive player to break the MVP barrier. I want to break barriers. I want to do things when people tell me I can't.
My favorite player growing up was Scottie Pippen.
