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

Work as hard as you can to become as good an individual player as you can to help your team win

I've always said you have to go through a lot of heartache in life to feel joy.

Don't ever have a rule that you won't enforce with your best player.

The 76ers hold a special place in my heart and I am intrigued by the opportunity to return to Philadelphia, where I was part of a rebuilding program, joining the team the year after it went 9-73 and going to the NBA Finals just four years later.

We've got to get our fans back. We've got to start winning and get our fans excited about the 76ers again... We're selling hope. This is about hope. We have hope that we have a chance to be good.

A closing team is so important in the NBA. The last seven minutes is what you are always coaching to get to. Now you have your team set, you have the match-ups you want, you have your time-outs, your chance to finish the game, and that's my job, to get us to that position during the course of the game.
