In college, I prided myself on defense and guarding the best player every night.
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 felt like the best player on the court every night in college.
I get the job of guarding the 'tough guy' every night so I just try to bring the same energy every night with whoever it is that I'm facing.
I've always prided myself on being a football player.
Goal of mine is to make first team All-Defense. The way you do that is guarding the best players.
I don't say that I am playing great defense, but I am working hard at trying to make it tough for each offensive player that I'm guarding.
In 1971, after seven years in college, with that magic piece of paper clutched triumphantly in my fist, the best job I was able to get was night watchman on a sewer project in Babylon, N.Y. guarding a hole in the ground to prevent anyone from stealing it. God bless the American educational system!
Everybody always asked why I wanted to be an offensive lineman. I told them that I had 11 different people I can hit on every single play, while everyone else is chasing one person. I prided myself on being an extremely physical and dominant player.
My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.
It's how I've been playing my whole life, guarding the best player on the other team.
I was guarding the best player and getting 25 and having eight assists, and three-four steals.
I never look at myself as a black player. I think of myself as a hockey player that wants to be the best player in the league.
It's always hard - if you're not the best player on your team, how can you be the best player in college?
I've always prided myself on doing what really was best for business.
If you're a great defensive player, you're a great defensive player 100% of the time. You can't be a great defensive player half of the time because you didn't get the ball once or twice. That can't sidetrack you. It's got to be 'I live for my defense, and my offense I'll get. But I can't let it affect my defense. Nothing affects my defense.'
I think every time I step on the court, I'm just preparing myself to be the best player I can be, be the best teammate I can be as well.
