Coaches can talk and talk and talk about something, but if you get it on tape and show it to them, it is so much more effective.

The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me.

I used to love the feeling of running, of running too far. It made my skin tingle.

When I go to the line I'm thinking 'All net.' When I don't think that, I'm likely to miss.

My opinion about basketball, the way I was taught, was when you step on the court, you play to win.

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.
