People think I would never take on a team that has no legitimate chance to win a championship, This is one of the major misconceptions about me. Success can be measured in many different ways. . . . Either way, I would find the challenge invigorating.

Basketball is a sport that involves the subtle interweaving of players at full speed to the point where they are thinking and moving as one.
