The passion to win games, the incredible, focused energy and also the camaraderie of the team were all things that I really loved.

There are many players who don't measure up to their marketability.

To have harmony on a team, you need a coach who can get inside the head of every player and get them all pulling in one direction.

I would never, ever intentionally hurt a player contractually.

The only thing I care about is winning. That's all. If you don't want to win, you don't want to be around me.

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

The marketing of players has created untold wealth for many sports stars. You can't blame them or the company that covets the relationship with them, but that doesn't mean the player is good.
