Great players crave instruction on their weaknesses.

You have no choices about how you lose, but you do have a choice about how you come back and prepare to win again.

There is no such thing as life in-between.

Great teamwork is the only way we create the breakthroughs that define our careers.

All I did from day-to-day is coach. That's what my job was, that's what my passion was, and the fact that now it's something I'm being considered for is just mind-blowing to me, that I would ever be in that kind of company.

We measure areas of performance that are often ignored: jumping in pursuit of every rebound even if you don't get it, swatting at every pass, diving for loose balls, letting someone smash into you in order to draw the foul. These 'effort' statistics are also stored on computer. Effort is what ultimately separates journeyman players from impact players. Knowing how well a player executes all these little things is the key to unlocking career-best performances.

Whatever it takes to win.
