How forthright does the audience want the broadcasters to be? Because when you tell your truth, there's a lot of anger that comes out. I think it's a good question to ask TV people [executives] too. How much truth do they want to be told? How much truth does the league want told? Because the truth isn't just a positive truth. If you're going to tell the truth, you would be telling a lot of positive and some negative.

You need your best players to play their best when their best is needed

Players with high character get better. Players with a serious approach get better. The fools never get better

Shooting percentage is just as much about decision making as it is about technique
