I don't have very many regrets, not because I lived a perfect life but because life is a bunch of rolling hills, not mountains, or speed bumps instead of stop signs, and so you come to a situation and it's neither good or bad, it just is, and what it means to you is what's your take on it. But the second part of the equation is what are you going to do about it. A lot of times I'm completely wrong, but all you do is back up and start over.

I think what has happened to our basketball team, we've been badly distracted. They're not reading too many positive things in the paper.

You got to have the killer instinct. If you do not have it, forget about basketball and go into social psychology or something. If you sometimes wonder if you've got it, you ain't got it. No pussycats, please.

If you really have integrity, there are very few people who can insult you, or honor you.

If you can take something to levels that very few other people can reach, then what you're doing becomes art.

We overreached our decision power. Sometimes our decisions have to fit the reality of the outside world.

Durability is part of what makes a great athlete.
