You don't want to be down 2-0 in a series. It's always important to try and get one on the opponent's home court. It makes your job at home easier.

Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win.

When your teammate looks you in the eye and holds you accountable, that's the greatest kind of leadership there is

Boston is a very proud franchise. The NBA misses them when they are not in the mix. They, along with teams like the Knicks and 76ers are a big part of the heart, soul and history of the league.

As I look back on the day I signed my professional contract in 1973, I've never gone to sleep wondering if I could pay the bills or take care of my family. That's what basketball has done for me. It's given me the greatest of thrills from high school to college to the Olympics to coaching to broadcasting.

I remember when I went to try out for the Olympic team in 1972, Coach Iba told me he didn't care how many points I could score because if I couldn't guard anybody, I wasn't going to make the team. I knew to make the team I had to become a better defender. If you can play offense, you can defend. It just comes down to competitive will.
