I care about systematically playing basketball. If the spacing isn't right, if guys are standing on top of each other, if there aren't lanes to be provided, or rebounders available to offensively rebound the ball, or we don't have defensive balance when a shot goes up, all of these things are fundamental basketball. I follow it.

If you have a clear mind . . . you won't have to search for direction. Direction will come to you.

Remember, Team, surrender the me for the we.

It takes a number of critical factors to win an NBA championship, including the right mix of talent, creativity, intelligence, toughness, and of course, luck. But if a team doesn’t have the most essential ingredient - love - none of those other factors matter.

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

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

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.
