I have always been interested in innovative and cutting edge-technologies coupled with a large market opportunity.
Information is power, particularly when the competition ignores the opportunity to do the same.
It's not whether the glass is half empty or half full, it's who is pouring the water. The key in business and success at any endeavor is doing your best to control your destiny. You can't always do it, but you have to take every opportunity you can to be as prepared as-and ahead of-the competition as you possibly can be.
Expect the unexpected, and always be ready - everyone has inside them what it takes to be successful. You just have to be ready to unleash it when the opportunity presents itself.
There is very little knowledge that can't be obtained through effort. With knowledge you can determine the state of any business or opportunity and find a course to gain an advantage.
Focus on building the best possible business. If you are great, people will notice and opportunities will appear.
There are no shortcuts. You have to work hard, and try to put yourself in a position where if luck strikes, you can see the opportunity and take advantage of it.

The template for success in the NBA changed from the Portland model of 1999-2000, when I got to the league, to the Detroit, San Antonio, Miami model. Although we have succeeded on the court to the point of five straight 50-plus win seasons, we certainly didn't do it 'the best way.' We did it the most expensive way. It cost us flexibility and created lots of bad habits. That was my mistake, and it ended up costing us Mike (Finley).
Broadcast.com continues to prove that Internet broadcasting is the new medium for companies to interact with consumers, collect valuable customer data, and ultimately drive sales to their products.
The system allows us to look at every play, in every way, and to tie it back to stats. So, we can watch how we played every pick and roll, track our success rate and also see how other teams are doing it. It's an invaluable resource that makes us smarter when combined with a lot of advanced statistical analysis we do.
