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.

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

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

Anything can happen with hard work and dedication

You can't imagine how much good luck is involved in winning, but all of a sudden, you get in a situation where every break goes your way, every call goes your way, every ball that rolls around drops in instead of out. It feels magical.

You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.

When time is running out and the score is close, most players are thinking, I don't want to be the one to lose the game, but I'm thinking, What do I have to do to win?
