I don't think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.
I came to the realization a couple months ago that I am fat. If you get tired from walking - and that's all that golf is - then you are officially fat.
When I speak to kids I tell them, 'Hey, you think your parents are a pain in the ass now, but they're going to get smarter as you get older.'
Being black or white isn't an accomplishment. What you do with your life - or what you accomplish with your life - dictates what you should be proud of.
I just go out there and play basketball. God's given me the ability. The only thing I can do is go out and play.
My teammates know I'm down to earth. I'll joke with them. But when it comes to basketball, I try to be serious about it.
If I asked you something about basketball and you don't really know about basketball and you try to talk it and fake it, I'm going to be able to tell. It's the same way about music; you have to be real.
Advising the average person to not concern herself with calories but instead to pay attention to hunger triggers and eating foods rick in nutrients--well, it's a wonderful concept. I also love the thought of unicorns jumping over cotton candy rainbows. I'm even considering taking up basketball to see if it makes me taller. Come on already! Suggesting that someone who struggles with his weight does not need to think about calories is as risky as suggesting you not look at price tags the next time you're in the market for a car.
Baseball is a team game but, at the same time, it's a very lonely game: unlike in soccer or basketball, where players roam around, in baseball everyone has their little plot of the field to tend. When the action comes to you, the spotlight is on you but no one can help you.
I sail, scuba dive, play football, basketball.
Every year it's been people saying I can't do this or I can't do that. Y'all will see something different, I can tell you that.
To go out there and play and have fun and hopefully win a championship. That's my goal.
I played varsity on all of them for four years. I'm 5'9 and that's not that tall for a center so I was a forward. I loved playing volleyball and basketball and track I was good at, but it stressed me out.
I never think about missing a free throw. All that goes through my mind when I'm at the line is seeing the ball go through the bottom of the net.
If I came in to recruit your son, I would tell you, your wife, and your son, that I will be the most demanding coach your son can play for.
I hate casual shooting. Every shot is preceded by working to get open and catch and shoot under game like conditions
I always designed my practice plans the night before and then made tweaks a few hours before practice began
Pat has been instrumental in what we've done here so far and the most selfish thing for me is that I want to see what we've done placed in the hands of the most competent person, and that's Pat. No one would come close to being able to continue to build on what we've done here so far like he will.
Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.
Good basketball always starts with good defense!
There are times when my passion for basketball led me into confrontations that I could have handled a lot better. I've always been too confrontational, especially when I know I'm right.
The goal is to make practice more difficult, physically/mentally, than anything your players will face during a game.
When The Phenoix Suns are missing two basketballs, they'll know where to look!
How do you build a successful organization or culture? It's the people. The people part, in business and basketball, is huge.
Cooper was my road roommate, and also happened to be the first African American player drafted by a National Basketball Association team.
