When I had troubles, I'd go out - with basketball, you can do it by yourself, too. So you'd go out and shoot, and you'd fantasize.

Courage gives a leader the ability to stand straight and not sway, no matter which way the wind blows.

A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That's how I want you to play.

You cannot merely expect culture to be a natural occurrence; it has to be taught and made a part of your everyday routine.

A team is a fist-not five fingers.

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

I'm looking for players who make their teammates better. You do that with enthusiasm and passion.
