Everybody wants to take responsibility when you win, but when you fail, all these fingers are pointing.

Players' attention spans get less and less as they progress.

I don't think we surprise people. We try to out-execute them.

Only the mediocre are always at their best. If your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. But if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. It is okay to not win every game. The only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. Keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. If you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.

Great rivalries don't have to be built on hatred. They're built on respect, on a respect for excellence.

Whatever a leader does now sets up what he does later. And there's always a later.

Don't let a single game break your heart.
