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.

Your problems never cease, they just change.

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

Basketball is sharing.

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

If you give the future all your attention, the present will pass you by.

Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing.
