Conditioning is essential to success in basketball.

The goal in life is the same as in basketball: make the effort to do the best you are capable of doing--in marriage, at your job, in the community, for your country. Make the effort to contribute in whatever way you can. You may do it materially or with time, ideas, or work. Making the effort to contribute is what counts. The effort is what counts in everything.

Make a decision! Failure to act is often the biggest failure of all.

Success may result in winning, but winning does not necessarily mean you are a success.

You can’t do anything about yesterday, and the only way to improve tomorrow is by what you do right now.

Nobody is defeated until he starts blaming somebody else. My advice to you is don't fix the blame. Fix the problem.

Be prepared and be honest.
