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

Basketball is a great mystery. You can do everything right. You can have the perfect mix of talent and the best system of offense in the game. You can devise a foolproof defensive strategy and prepare your players for every possible eventuality. But if the players don’t have a sense of oneness as a group, your efforts won’t pay off. And the bond that unites a team can be so fragile, so elusive.

Remember, Team, surrender the me for the we.

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

I'm not going to coach again. I've done my coaching, and I think I can put that aside.

I'm a patient person. I think that's one thing that I feel comfortable I can deal with - the downfall and the errors, as long as I see progress and people trying.
