I don't think people fully appreciate the trauma associated with losing. It takes a lot out of you, year after year.

To be candid with you, free agency hurts all sports. It's great for athletes making an enormous amount of money. But to say it helps the sports, I don't believe that.

If you can't see someone's got a game with great personality, you shouldn't be out there looking.

Coaches who have been players in the league, they get so attuned to playing how they were successful, and who their coaches were.

Confidence is a lot of this game or any game. If you don't think you can, you won't.
