Teamwork requires that everyone's efforts flow in a single direction. Feelings of significance happen when a team's energy takes on a life of its own.

When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, its ready to climb.

There is no such thing as life in-between.

Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.

When a great team loses through complacency, it will constantly search for new and more intricate explanations to explain away defeat.

When you're playing against a stacked deck, compete even harder. Show the world how much you'll fight for the winners circle. If you do, someday the cellophane will crackle off a fresh pack, one that belongs to you, and the cards will be stacked in your favor.

Basketball is a business. Pure and simple. If you want to have fun, go to the YMCA.
