The 76ers Hold A Special Place In

The 76ers Hold A Special Place In My Heart And I Am Intrigued By The Opportunity To Return To Philadelphia, Where I Was Part Of A Rebuilding Program, Joining The Team The Year After It Went 9-73 And Going To The Nba Finals Just Four Years Later.

As I Look Back On The Day I Signed My Professional Contract In 1973, I've Never Gone To Sleep Wondering If I Could Pay The Bills Or Take Care Of My Family. That's What Basketball Has Done For Me. It's Given Me The Greatest Of Thrills From High School To College To The Olympics To Coaching To Broadcasting.

Aside From An Intervention, Which I Don't Think Is On Anybody's Mind, Iraq Is Going To Have Defend For Itself.

The Great Thing About Basketball Is You Work As Hard As You Can To Individually Get Better So That Your Team Can Win

I Remember When I Went To Try Out For The Olympic Team In 1972, Coach Iba Told Me He Didn't Care How Many Points I Could Score Because If I Couldn't Guard Anybody, I Wasn't Going To Make The Team. I Knew To Make The Team I Had To Become A Better Defender. If You Can Play Offense, You Can Defend. It Just Comes Down To Competitive Will.
