Basketball came to me and for some reason it gave me an opportunity to live a life that I didn't dream possible. But it did let me live my dreams.

It was clear to me that I was never going to be the same kind of player I had been. It was time to quit.

You can't ever totally know what's inside of someone else, or see the kind of will someone like Magic has. You have to rely on your instincts to find people who hate losing and know how to win.

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

Personalities seem in many cases to dominate the lucrative endorsement market. But that doesn't upset me. What upsets me is when not enough attention is paid to the product-the game.

I enjoy winning, but more importantly I enjoy the people I'm around.

I’ve never seen a better coach than Gregg Popovich.
