I've learned the number one job of a pro manager is not to win championships but to keep their job.

I daydreamed for motivation. I didn't lie to myself and talk about my passions and how if I was passionate enough about something I could be successful at it.

Relaxing is for the other guy.

The NBA is never just a business. It's always business. It's always personal. All good businesses are personal. The best businesses are very personal.

You never quite know in business if what you are doing is the right or the wrong thing. Unfortunately, by the time you know the answer, someone has beaten you to it and you are out of business.

I rarely think the market is right. I believe non dividend stocks aren't much more than baseball cards. They are worth what you can convince someone to pay for it.
