“I love the game of basketball; I love coaching. The attention, being on TV, all that stuff, that's not what it's about for me.”
“I know how loyal I was to Coach Blatt, and the people that know me understand that. I have no control over what people think.”
“When you're prepared, and you do the best you can do, and you put it out there on the floor, you've just got to live with the results.”
“I don't want to be a coach. I see how hard that is.”
“I always get mad when guys make shots in the first quarter, second quarter, pumping their chest, and then the game on the line, they miss. So you're doing all that for no reason.”
“With me, everybody I meet always has a clean slate.”
“I like cars and houses. I have three houses - in Atlanta, in Kansas City and Houston.”
“I have seen every aspect of basketball that you can see as a player, and I think they can relate to that, and I can understand them.”
“If you win as a unit, everybody gets credit for it.”
“I had a great relationship with Coach Nee. I liked Doc Sadler a lot.”
“I'm blessed just making it to the NBA. That was my first goal and dream. Playing with Kobe and Shaq and for a coach like Phil Jackson, and then going to play with guys like Jordan and Jerry Stackhouse, it's just a crazy experience.”
“I'm not the type of guy who wants the credit.”
“I won coach of the year at the ESPYs, but I didn't go to ESPYs. That's not me. I don't want the attention.”
“As far as being on the officials every five minutes, it's just not good for the game. The officials don't like it; you embarrass them, so it's just not good. Now, every now and then they might make a bad call, but officiating is hard.”
“I have a job to do, and I'm going to do my best.”
“I don't like the media attention.”
“I'm always watching. I'm watching everybody. San Antonio, Houston, Golden State, Washington, Boston, I'm watching everything. And my mind is always going: it's always running, and you're always trying to get an advantage somehow.”
“You can tell a guy the truth, and they might hate you for that day, but they'll come back that night and text you, like, 'You know what? You were right.' I just think if you tell guys the truth, they can respect you more.”
“LeBron is like a coach. He is a coach on the floor. He has a great basketball IQ.”
“I was just a young kid out of Mexico, Missouri, and then Kansas City, having an opportunity to play at the University of Nebraska, where I grew as a man.”
