Slam Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\nReally the only guy that flipped me out when I was on the same court with him was Sprewell. \u2019Cause if I could be any other basketball player, I would be Sprewell. What he did was foul, everybody know that, and I would never do no shit like that. I mean, I guess he just flipped out and snapped and he\u2019s going to learn a lot from it and he\u2019s a good dude, \u2019cause I know him as a person. But as far as talent, if I could be any other player, I wouldn\u2019t be Michael Jordan, man. I wouldn\u2019t take Michael Jordan\u2019s game, I would take Latrell Sprewell\u2019s game. I love the way he play. I love the way he play and he hard, hard on the court. You know, he might talk shit to you, he might not. He might give you 30 or 40 with a regular look on his face, like, \u201cWhatever. This is what I do. That\u2019s the way I play. I don\u2019t gotta talk shit, \u2019cause I do this. I do this nightly. I don\u2019t have to talk no shit to you to prove nothin\u2019 to you.\u201d But Spree, man. Spree\u2019s something else.<\/p>\n
SLAM: What is it? What is it about his game?<\/strong><\/p>\nAI:<\/strong>\u00a0Energy. He can play the whole damn game. He got pride with his game, you know, And he just hard. When I look at him I see myself, \u2019cause he don\u2019t care who you are, he just go at you. He go right at your chest, crazy, hard. He can shoot, he can run, he can dribble, he can jump. He\u2019s smart, he know the game.<\/p>\nIf not Sprewell, if I had a choice, it would be Shaq. I don\u2019t think nobody could beat my team 10 to 15 times if Shaq was on my team. Never. I mean, that guy has talent that\u2019s just unbelievable. He\u2019s unbelievable. If I played with him, I don\u2019t think nobody could beat me. I don\u2019t know if you beat me in a series, but you won\u2019t sweep me. That\u2019s why I look at [the Lakers] and I\u2019m like\u2014Utah was a great team, Karl Malone, John Stockton did great, but you got Shaq on your team. How can you live with yourself knowing you got swept and you got Shaq on your team? Shhhh\u2026<\/p>\n
