I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.

When I step onto the court, I'm ready to play. If you're going up against me, you'd better be ready. If you're not going to compete, I will dominate you.

Ultimately, if you can say that I'm a bad owner and we're winning championships, I can live with that. But if we're not making the playoffs and we're spending and losing money, then I have to look in the mirror and say maybe I'm not taking the necessary steps to doing what it takes to run an organization.

There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.

The greatest people that ever lived were also the greatest failures. They just didn’t let those failures affect them like they do most.

I hate being out there with those garbage men. They don't get you the ball.

I would tell players to relax and never think about what's at stake. Just think about the basketball game. If you start to think about who is going to win the championship, you've lost your focus.
