Leadership is not about forcing your will on others. It's about mastering the art of letting go.

I care about systematically playing basketball. If the spacing isn't right, if guys are standing on top of each other, if there aren't lanes to be provided, or rebounders available to offensively rebound the ball, or we don't have defensive balance when a shot goes up, all of these things are fundamental basketball. I follow it.

I'm a patient person. I think that's one thing that I feel comfortable I can deal with - the downfall and the errors, as long as I see progress and people trying.

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

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 will have Derek Fisher wear all 5 of his rings the first time he comes in to talk to Carmelo.
