If I ever feel a sense of anxiety, it's usually over things that I have some control over, or I'm anxious about me making the right decision.

I love Greg Monroe.

I've spent my entire life around coaches.

Everybody tries to take a tragedy and turn it to their own political purposes, and it's both sides.

In this business, if you lose, you're gonna get fired. Now, if you win, you still may get fired. That's the hard part. You see guys having success and getting fired. That's really tough to watch.

We've changed a lot of things to help certain groups of people. We widened the lane from 6 feet to 12 feet to 16 feet to make it so the big guys aren't as dominant. Well, why didn't we just say, 'You've got to learn to play against them in the post?'

Sometimes expanding your game isn't better. Sometimes shrinking your game is a little bit better and really get to the things you do well.

I think we get a little carried away with ourselves with sports thinking we're more important than everything else.

Exacerbating the problem of mass incarceration is that, even after someone is released from prison, the stigma of a misdemeanor or felony conviction makes finding gainful employment difficult, if not impossible.

I've been very, very fortunate. I don't need to work another day in my life. I have all the security I need.

I really think the people I run into in the NBA, whether it's the front office side or in coaching, everybody wants to work in an atmosphere where everybody's pulling in the same direction.

I have been in a unique position to hear from players and staff members about the issues they and their families have had to encounter.
