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.

You have to be unique.

And yet as a coach, I know that being fixated on winning (or more likely, not losing) is counterproductive, especially when it causes you to lose control of your emotions. What’s more, obsessing about winning is a loser’s game: The most we can hope for is to create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome. The ride is a lot more fun that way.

An acrobatic dunk will make it onto Sports Center. A simple, unspectacular bounce pass in the rhythm of the offense will not. System basketball has been replaced by players who want to be the system.

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

You're only a success for the moment that you complete a successful act.

I'm not trying to find answers anymore. I'm trying to live what I know.
