company race shown snake
Snake has been everything to me. Look at where I was when I started with the company in 1988 and where I'm at now. I mean, he's shown me just about everything on and off the race track.

Being happy is very important. We won our second championship last season and we have our entire team coming back to try and defend our title again. I'm very proud of that.

chance further highest hoping led move peaked towards
I think that '01 was different because we led and then were behind, and in 2002 and '03, I don't think we didn't lead. This year, the highest we've been (in the standings) is third.

I'm not sure what Donnie (Bender) was trying to run on that pass, but it spun the tires early; I know he wasn't happy about that. He knew that he had to make some adjustments, but we got the win light.

How important has Phil Jackson been to the success of the Lakers? He's very important.
team thinking people
I think it's an extremely important factor to have your team together. It goes back to having distractions. When you all stay together for a period of time you're not training people or feeling out different personalities.
team winning goal
Winning teams have the least amount of distractions. They have a really tight group of people working towards the same common goal.
