The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don't have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven't had that fear.

When you start training camp, you're building the tools necessary to win a championship. You have to have the patience.

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it.

It never bothered me when people would say, 'You only win championships because you're playing with Shaq.' It bothered me when he said it.

Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.

Thank god, I'm not from this world.

My brain cannot process failure... It WILL not process failure
