It began, excuse me, earlier in my profession and I assumed in Europe once I was teaching in Europe, that’s the easiest way to play and was working. Clearly then you definately come to the NBA, you could have higher gamers to do what I at all times thought that wanted to be accomplished. However once more, an enormous driving drive was Shaquille O’Neal was the middle in Los Angeles, which is in our division. And we at all times stated amongst ourselves, you possibly can’t out Shaq Shaq. You possibly can’t simply trot any individual on the market and assume you’re gonna get one of the best of Shaq. So we had to determine a approach to beat him. And that was to hurry the sport up, take extra 3s and unfold them out, after which they offer us an opportunity to win. CHAKRABARTI: That’s so attention-grabbing. I had no concept that Shaq was that influential in shaping the best way different groups performed. D’ANTONI: Yeah. He is actually the cause of the 3-point shot.
