No one plays this or any game perfectly. It's the guy who recovers from his mistakes who wins.

I thrive on challenges, and there is no more imposing challenge for someone in my profession than winning an NBA title.

The sign of a great player is how much he elevates his colleagues' performance.

Not everyone has a purpose.

Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing.

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

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