I wonder if they ever are. I thought they might let that go this year, but it didn't seem apparent at all. Right away, he got booed. He just may be one of those guys that has to carry that for a year or two until another group comes along that gives him a break.

I still think we have a good chance, ... I still feel that we're the odds-on favorite to be the team of destiny.

Ludicrous is probably the best word I could think of.

They played Kobe tough and a little harder than the refs wanted to see.

I felt they were self-directed out there. They knew what they wanted to run. They broke down the double-teams and I didn't have to burn timeouts to explain it to them. That was satisfying to me.

Not only is there more to life than basketball, there's a lot more to basketball than basketball.

He was an excellent football coach. He had a lot of success here. He was a real gentleman. I knew him pretty well. He was one of the finest men I ever knew.

This trip, you've got to do a lot of PR work for the league, pump up that Miami game on Christmas Day because they're asking you to do this all the time. And don't forget, Orlando is just as important in the win-loss column.

I replaced three joints in my hips and one in my knee. I'm hoping that other knee doesn't have to be done. It's one of the toughest things to overcome.

Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing.

It's just a personal challenge for him to attack the whole team.

I've seen some remarkable games, but never anything like that.
