Once I Made A Decision, I Never

Suddenly All Is Quiet. The Other Nine Players? They're All Moving In Slow Motion! I'm At Normal Speed! I Know Where Everyone's Going Even Before They Know Themselves. The Basket Is Huge, Maybe Six Feet Across! How Can I Miss? It's Like Throwing A Rock Into A Pond.

Don't Be Afraid To Fail. Be Afraid Not To Try.

The Game Of Basketball Has Been Everything To Me. My Place Of Refuge, Place I've Always Gone Where I Needed Comfort And Peace. It's Been The Site Of Intense Pain And The Most Intense Feelings Of Joy And Satisfaction. It's A Relationship That Has Evolved Over Time, Given Me The Greatest Respect And Love For The Game.

I Won't Have Any Competitive Instincts In Any Sports, Other Than Golf. I Can't See Being Competitive In Sports Any More.

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.
