You Don't Want To Be Down 2-0

As I Look Back On The Day I Signed My Professional Contract In 1973, I've Never Gone To Sleep Wondering If I Could Pay The Bills Or Take Care Of My Family. That's What Basketball Has Done For Me. It's Given Me The Greatest Of Thrills From High School To College To The Olympics To Coaching To Broadcasting.

Any Time Detroit Scores More Than 100 Points And Holds The Other Team Below 100 Points They Almost Always Win.

I Remember When I Went To Try Out For The Olympic Team In 1972, Coach Iba Told Me He Didn't Care How Many Points I Could Score Because If I Couldn't Guard Anybody, I Wasn't Going To Make The Team. I Knew To Make The Team I Had To Become A Better Defender. If You Can Play Offense, You Can Defend. It Just Comes Down To Competitive Will.

I'm A Numbers Guy, And I Think Numbers Sometimes Tell Stories And Sometimes They Don't. When You Look At The Nba, When Teams Shoot 45% Or Better From The Floor, What Is Their Record? And If They Shoot Under That What Is Their Record?

I Was Taught By Teachers, And If It's One Thing I Have It's A Basketball Mind And I Try To Pass It On And Pay It Forward.
