My practices were not set up to be easy or enjoyed.

I have always maintained that in basketball the importance of the mental to the physical is about four to one.

The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.

If the NBA were on channel 5 and a bunch of frogs making love were on channel 4, I'd watch the frogs, even if they were coming in fuzzy.

I recognize that I have a problem with my temper. For those times it has ever caused me to do anything that gave anyone understandable and justifiable reason to be upset, I am sincerely sorry.

Everybody wants to be on a championship team, but nobody wants to come to practice.

There are times when my passion for basketball led me into confrontations that I could have handled a lot better. I've always been too confrontational, especially when I know I'm right.
