We think that basketball is the international language. It's a sport that was invented in America, but it travels the world. It's been an Olympic sport since 1936, and we have worked with many of the countries here.

If not, that's a decision we can accept. But then we'll have to act on it ourselves.
I'm having as good a time as I've ever had. All systems are go.
That's a road you have to follow if you want to be considered among the great ones. The campaign last year about the Finals was 'where legends are born,' and I think you could have said that for the playoffs. ... Clearly in order to write yourself large in NBA history, you've got to be in the playoffs.
