Yes, victory is sweet, but it doesn't necessarily make life any easier the next season or even the next day.

Pau is one of the best big men in the game. I mean, Pau Gasol is going to be in the Hall of Fame.

I think people forgot that there are still ways you can get the ball inside rather than just standing there and throwing the ball in. You have to have a system that makes all things work.

I probably would have no capability of absorbing a 60-defeat season as a coach. It would be a foreign experience. My whole career, even as a player, has been on winning basketball clubs and it just seems to have been a part of the make-up of what’s been given me. That’s what I’ve been given and that’s what I’ve had to deal with. Some people can make fun of it or some people can have a good time with it, or some people can resent it. It’s just what it is.

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.

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

In basketball - as in life - true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way.
