Everybody knew we were capable of playing better. I'm so proud of our kids. I can't say enough about their resolve.
The team seemed tired and lethargic (against Sacramento State) and not really mentally into playing that contest. I don't think we'll have that problem this weekend at all.
Winning and losing isn't important to me so much as playing to a certain level. If we play to the level that I expect our team to play at, we should have three victories this weekend.
We have to relax, play hard and make some critical plays when the pressure's on. Right now, that will be the most important thing. That was our weakness last year too.
I grew up in San Diego in a non-athletic environment. My parents were not interested in sports. Their loves were art, literature and music. I gravitated towards sports because of my older brother Bruce and the first coach I ever had, who, like John Wooden, made it fun and really emphasized the joy of playing the team game.
Kevin Garnett is the prototype for the NBA player of the future. He's already one of the greatest players to have played the game.
What a pathetic play from a pathetic human being.
Steve Nash is the most unathletic player in the league.
Kenyon Martin is the 2nd best player in the Eastern Conference.
At 49, I can say something I never would have said when I was a player. I am a better person because of my failures and disgraces.
Mick Jagger is in better shape than far too many NBA players. It's up in the air whether the same can be said of Keith Richards.
I was a skinny, scrawny guy. I stuttered horrendously, couldn't speak at all. I was a very shy, reserved player and a very shy, reserved person. I found a safe place in life in basketball.
Without question, no hesitation, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the best player I ever played against.
I couldn't imagine not playing basketball. To me, basketball is what life is all about.
