If You Give The Future

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. Of Course, It's No Accident That Things Are More Likely To Go Your Way When You Stop Worrying About Whether You're Going To Win Or Lose And Focus Your Full Attention On What's Happening Right This Moment.

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.

I Probably Would Have No Capability Of Absorbing A 60-defeat Season As A Coach. It Would Be A Foreign Experience. My Whole Career, Even As A Player, Has Been On Winning Basketball Clubs And It Just Seems To Have Been A Part Of The Make-up Of What’s Been Given Me. That’s What I’ve Been Given And That’s What I’ve Had To Deal With. Some People Can Make Fun Of It Or Some People Can Have A Good Time With It, Or Some People Can Resent It. It’s Just What It Is.

I Will Have Derek Fisher Wear All 5 Of His Rings The First Time He Comes In To Talk To Carmelo.

I'm Not Railing, 'this Is Inadequate' Or 'this Isn't Right.' Just Show Me What Will Work.
