You need lofty goals. Then cement it with a great work ethic.

Kevin Garnett was a great player, but he wasn't Kobe Bryant.

I know when I left the game, I could have played more. There is no question. I think I could have played at a very high level, too. But I could not play the way everyone wanted me to play. And I was not willing to compromise what I felt was a standard that I had established in this league and, particularly, for our fans at home.

A couple teams will grind the shot clock down. Most of the time coaches do that, it's usually a talent deficit. They can't compete against the better teams.

To be candid with you, free agency hurts all sports. It's great for athletes making an enormous amount of money. But to say it helps the sports, I don't believe that.

I enjoy winning, but more importantly, I enjoy the people I'm around.

You get so addicted to winning that you don't want that feeling to stop.

I often do things that surprise me, not to mention others.

I'm still very much a West Virginia boy. I haven't forgotten my roots, because that's really who I am.
