I'm Not Going To Coach

The Strength Of The Team Lies Within The Individual. And The Strength Of The Individual Lies Within The Team

My Accountant Tells Me I Can't Be A California Resident Anymore. I Spend Too Much Of My Time In New York.

I Care About Systematically Playing Basketball. If The Spacing Isn't Right, If Guys Are Standing On Top Of Each Other, If There Aren't Lanes To Be Provided, Or Rebounders Available To Offensively Rebound The Ball, Or We Don't Have Defensive Balance When A Shot Goes Up, All Of These Things Are Fundamental Basketball. I Follow It.

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 Thrive On Challenges, And There Is No More Imposing Challenge For Someone In My Profession Than Winning An Nba Title.
