I always tried to make clear that basketball is not the ultimate. It is of small importance in comparison to the total life we live.

Young people need models, not critics.

What a leader learns after you've learned it all counts most of all.

Be more interested in character than reputation

It is important for us to see that our mentors are human and therefore fallible; it makes our own shortcomings more tenable.
