Never allow anyone else to define your success.

There is great joy in doing something for somebody else with no thought in receiving anything in return.

Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.

My bench never heard me mention winning. My whole emphasis was for each one of my players to try to learn to execute the fundamentals to the best of their ability. Not to try to be better than somebody else, but to learn from others, and never cease trying to be the best they could be; that's what I emphasized more than anything else.

Never lie, never cheat, never steal.

The courageous struggle for a noble cause should be considered success itself.

What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
