You can win a championship, but the amount of fulfillment that I get knowing I’ve impacted a whole community is bigger than a championship for me. It’s what I stand for. It’s how I live. And I think that’s how the world should try to see itself to impact other people’s lives.

Most coaches would consider leading a team to an Olympic gold medal a capper for a pretty good year. The same goes for winning an NCAA national championship. Or a FIBA world championship.

The key is that you never check the championship. You always carry it on. So when you’re going through TSA, it’s always a treat because, for some reason, they always like to pull it out and hold it way above their head and throw it over their shoulder and put it across their waist, see what it looks like on them.
The MVP award was very satisfying in terms of personal accomplishments, but the championship was the most important thing of all.

You’ve got to coach worrying about your entire team: whether that gets you a championship or whether that gets you fired. I think it allows you to coach free. You’re coaching with freedom because you know you’re doing what you think is right.

You don’t have to be a superhero and pull off shots you’ve never hit before. Your goal should be to put yourself in position to play as close to your regular game as possible.
