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.

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.

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

The real value in everything you do is in the details. I just like that quote. A very similar way to say the same thing. If you're washing dishes you pay attention to washing dishes. If you're driving a car, you're paying attention to driving the car.

I always tell the players, "We are in the business that's very much like a marathon race only we're gonna be doing it for 260-something days or so." And the race is something you get ready to do. There's gonna be some trial inside of there, but you put yourself through it because ultimately it brings a lot of meaning to your life, it gives a lot of energy to what you're doing.

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

The bigger your head, the easier to fill your shoes.
