The Real Value In Everything

The Road To Freedom Is A Beautiful System

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.

My Philosophy Is That You Can't Motivate Players With Speeches, You Have Motivated Players That You Draft. That's Where They Come In And Those Are The Guys That Are Competitive. You Cannot Teach Competitiveness.

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

Coaching Is About, "how Do I Get People To Play At Their Peak Level?" It Is A Spiritual Quest. And If It's Not That, You Don't Have A Challenge, You Don't Have A Mission. Forming A Brotherhood And Trying To Move It Forward - That's What Coaching Is.
