I spent 50 years in the NBA. Can you imagine doing something that you love the most in the entire world and doing it for your entire life and, besides that, getting a pile of money for it? It's unbelievable. I'm the luckiest guy in the world. And I know it.

Really, throughout my career, what I've done is taken teams with bad records and with every situation I've made them better.

Where ever the Mavericks are today, we owe it to Michael Finley. He was the one guy who stayed when we were a terrible team. He stayed and fought the fight.

I’m a running coach and I am going to continue to run, but I would hope that we are better defensively.

If we're gonna win, we have to play up to and beyond our potential.

When you have bad teams, you've got to be creative to win games you're not supposed to win.
