Once You've Done The Mental Work, There

I Always Tell The Players, "we Are In The Business That's Very Much Like A Marathon Race Only We're Gonna Be Doing It For 260-something Days Or So." And The Race Is Something You Get Ready To Do.

Despite Their Tremendous Talent, (nba Players) Are Still, By And Large, Young Adults, Seeking Validation From An Authority Figure, And There Is No Greater Authority Figure On A Team Than The Coach. Needless To Say, In Today's Warped, Self-indulgent Climate, Too Many Players Couldn't Care Less About Appeasing The Coach.

The Sign Of A Great Player Is How Much He Elevates His Colleagues' Performance.

Your Problems Never Cease, They Just Change.

An Acrobatic Dunk Will Make It Onto Sports Center. A Simple, Unspectacular Bounce Pass In The Rhythm Of The Offense Will Not. System Basketball Has Been Replaced By Players Who Want To Be The System.
