My job as a coach was to make something meaningful out of one of the most mundane activities on the planet: playing pro basketball.

Not everyone has a purpose.

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

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.

I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.

For us tall people, the whole key is that your hips and your knees should form a right angle when you sit down. That's where backs and hips get to be problems for big guys.

My first act after being named head coach of the Bulls was to formulate a vision for the team. I had to take into account not only what I wanted to achieve, but how I was going to get there.
