As a player all you can do is play within yourself, even in the context of a team sport.
I don't really want to go into my problems with the team at the time except to say that no one's ever had to pay me to play basketball.
Iโve never seen a better coach than Gregg Popovich.
I would never, ever intentionally hurt a player contractually.
I don't think people fully appreciate the trauma associated with losing. It takes a lot out of you, year after year.
Coaches who have been players in the league, they get so attuned to playing how they were successful, and who their coaches were.
