Selling is never about convincing. It is always about helping.
Get me selling and I can figure out the industry. Once I can figure out the industry I can start a business in that industry.
It would be a little hypocritical of me. I don't care how they dress. I do care how they act.
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.
Digital projection means that any type of event can be broadcast live or from DVD. That increases options considerably.
We are very happy with the results so far of this first day-and-date release, and while theatrical performance was not as high as we would have liked, it compared favorably to other similar films released this weekend.

That was the worst half of officiating I've ever seen. That was terrible, and I want it on the record I said that at halftime, no matter what the outcome.
Why would we do anything? What do we need?
I wonder if he dreams about me the nights he spends here in Dallas. OK, I don't wonder. I'm curious about it. Of course, I don't truly believe that I own Phil. But that won't prevent me from walking up to him and say 'Boo' to see if he jumps, just to find out for sure.
I wish Mike all the best off the court, ... As always, I hope the Spurs lose 82 games.
I think one of the biggest curses in the U.S. is that we have only two political parties.
