If you give the future all your attention, the present will pass you by.

My job as a coach was to make something meaningful out of one of the most mundane activities on the planet: playing pro basketball.

Make your work your play and your play your work.

Despite their tremendous talent, (NBA players) are still, by and large, young adults, seeking validation from an authority figure, and there is no greater authority figure on a team than the coach. Needless to say, in today's warped, self-indulgent climate, too many players couldn't care less about appeasing the coach.

My accountant tells me I can't be a California resident anymore. I spend too much of my time in New York.

The sign of a great player is how much he elevates his colleagues' performance.

Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We.
