I don't believe in statistics. There are too many factors that can't be measured. You can't measure a ballplayer's heart.

I never had a set of rules. Every situation is different.

When players are used to winning, they put out a little more. Basketball 3rd winningest coach (regular season and playoffs) in NBA history; won 1,037 times in 20 years.

If you want to be a Champion, you've got to feel like one, you've got to act like one, you've got to look like one.

An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.

Wilt Chamberlain had a great deal to do with the success of the NBA. His dominance, power, demeanor and the rivalry with Bill Russell says it all. He will be sorely missed by myself and everyone in the basketball community. Wilt was a great performer and a great athlete.

I never took a position we were going to be a good ball club. I took the position we were going to be a winning ball club.
