Not only is there more to life than basketball, there's a lot more to basketball than basketball.

For us tall people, the whole key is that your hips and your knees should form a right angle when you sit down. That's where backs and hips get to be problems for big guys.

Not everyone has a purpose.

I will have Derek Fisher wear all 5 of his rings the first time he comes in to talk to Carmelo.

The best part of basketball, for those people on the inside, is the bus going to the airport after you've won a game on an opponent's floor. It's been a very tough battle. And preferably, in the playoffs. And that feeling that you have, together as a group, having gone to an opponent's floor and won a very good victory, is as about as high as you can get.

You can't force your will on people. If you want them to act differently, you need to inspire them to change themselves

You have to be unique.
