Everybody has an opportunity to play a role, a playmaking role, so it makes it harder to coach. It takes a little more time.

I'm not railing, 'This is inadequate' or 'This isn't right.' Just show me what will work.

The ideal way to win a championship is step by step.

The best thing that I think happened to me was I got the opportunity to have really good players and we were able to meet the demand of the competition. And I think that's what I value most.

Before a vision (dream) can become a reality, it must be owned by every member of the group.

I thrive on challenges, and there is no more imposing challenge for someone in my profession than winning an NBA title.

You're only a success for the moment that you complete a successful act.
