Rick Barry | Rick Barry's Sports Journey: From Professional Basketball to Pickleball Championships

And that's why I always admire Tiger Woods. He's the best freaking golfer in the world. He changed his swing twice wide to get better. He thought he could get better. So in my case, I thought I could get better. And so I figured out something to do. I tried it and it worked. My last six years, and I brag about this because it's the only part of the game you can be selfish and help your team.

If Shaq had taken me up on my offer, Shaq would have won multiple more championships instead of a guy going to the bench because of the hack of Shaq. And to me, the most ludicrous thing that the NBA has done to me in all the years I followed and watched it, they put in a rule to protect someone who had horrible skill.

You exploit the weakness of your opponent.
