Can I Still Dunk... Are You Stupid?

Look Me In The Eye. It’s Ok If You’re Scared. So Am I. But We Are Scared For Different Reasons. I Am Scared Of What I Won’t Become. And You Are Scared Of What I Could Become. Look At Me. I Won’t Let Myself End Where I Started. I Won’t Let Myself Finish Where I Began. I Know What Is Within Me, Even If You Can’t See It Yet. Look Me In The Eyes. I Have Something More Important Than Courage. I Have Patience. I Will Become What I Know I Am.

I Would Tell Players To Relax And Never Think About What's At Stake. Just Think About The Basketball Game. If You Start To Think About Who Is Going To Win The Championship, You've Lost Your Focus.

Ultimately, If You Can Say That I'm A Bad Owner And We're Winning Championships, I Can Live With That. But If We're Not Making The Playoffs And We're Spending And Losing Money, Then I Have To Look In The Mirror And Say Maybe I'm Not Taking The Necessary Steps To Doing What It Takes To Run An Organization.

Sometimes, Things May Not Go Your Way, But The Effort Should Be There Every Single Night.

I Smoked My First Cigar In 1991, When We Won The Championship. Up To That Point, I Had Never Smoked A Cigar, Never Smoked Anything.
