Play the game with a smile.

I have been involved in music since 1972 when I started managing two artists from The Jimi Hendrix Band. My family has been involved in music for years, so it's kind of in my blood. I just wish I could sing!

Guys have to look up to somebody. Everybody needs to have their own role and somebody has to be the star.

When people ask me what I miss most about the game, it's being in the locker room and getting to know the guys. Back in those days, we had roommates. We had to talk basketball and that was a great way to understand the game itself and form those lasting relationships.

I think that any time you're able to get a guy like Carmelo Anthony to be on your team, you're going to be a step up.

Just be patient. Let the game come to you. Don't rush. Be quick, but don't hurry.

The game of basketball is one thing, but the image of the game is another thing.
