I'm the only idiot the that decided to coach in my family.

I have family and friends who are policemen and are close to my heart.

One thing that we can do for each other is support each other. At one point or another, we all go through trials and tribulations, so giving your time is one way to help.

There's not a lot I haven't done, from being the No. 1 option to the No. 12 option.

I don't really differentiate from big-time college basketball to any other kind of basketball. It's basketball. It's fundamentals and defense and shooting - they're all the same.

So many things in sports are out of your control, so I really don't look too far ahead.

Being around greatness is always a thrill.

Live your life the right way, and the blessing will come.

Shooting is a skill you can develop. It's repetition and confidence.

Basketball's fun; it really is. Because I've done it all my life.

It's important to have an imagination.

In life, you always look at the total picture, not just a segment of it.

I'd like to teach my players how to play and not just run plays.

When you're a general manager, you don't get to see every single player, so you have to rely on your scouts.

I would have liked to play in New York and be close to my family and friends, but since there is nothing I can do about it, I really don't care where I go.

Ray Allen is one of the fittest guys in the league.

I have made some bad decisions in my own life, and people were there for me.

When I reach the line, I just know I'm going to dribble the ball twice, and when I shoot, I know it's going in. I get there and relax. I've put more in than I have missed, so in my head, I know they're going in.

I'm in control of my life.

I'm not going to jump over or muscle people. That's the way I've always played, the only way I know.

I think Isaiah Thomas has been a really nice player for the Kings.

In the recovery world, it's a higher power that helps you. You have to turn your life over to something greater. Anytime I tried to control my life, I had screwed it up.

I don't know if people understand - losing is tough.

Whatever you wind up doing in life, things aren't handed to you.

The better players you get, the better coach you are.
