I love 'Gladiator' and '300.'

Winning is the best deodorant.

I thought I was going to be a Spur.

I just coach and get my guys ready.

The Knicks, they're a very talented team.

I think we're going in the right direction.

I love the competition no matter at what age.

Being able to run an NBA team at 19 is not easy.

We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

The business always gets in the way of basketball.

A lot of things get misinterpreted with me, I guess.

I wanted to see if I could win a championship in San Antonio.

With the intention of signing Lin back, I saw that I can help.

...and that's what separates the professionals from the taxpayers

I think cryotherapy is excellent for anybody and not just athletes.

I've got to play free agency out, and I've got to look at all of my options.

I think if you're consistent in this league, you'll win a lot of ball games.

Good teams beat you with speed. Great teams beat you with spacing and timing.

A lot of times late in your career, you don't have a chance to win a championship.

A lot of wear and tear on my body. I've been blessed not to have too many surgeries.

I'm a high-risk taker on the court in the sense of trying to squeeze things in there.

It's funny because everybody has injuries, and different teams handle them differently.

I've learned a lot at home and been able to take what I've learned at home to the court.

I just tried to play the game the right way. As you get older, Father Time is undefeated.

Championship teams are built on being prepared, playing unselfishly and being held accountable.

I have had some bad shooting games but that doesn't stop me from getting the ball to my teammates

Kobe enjoys that situation. Stepping up and making the big basket or being involved in a key play.

Passing is contagious. There's nothing better than making the pass that gives someone an easy hoop.

Kobe is Kobe. He is one of the best to ever play this game. Given the opportunity, he can embarrass you.

There's always room for improvement. We have a nucleus that's pretty good. You want players that will help.

I try to anticipate exactly where my teammates are going to be. Sometimes I look good. Sometimes I look bad.

Yeah, I'm excited about it, my teammates are telling me to look at the basket, so that's what I'm trying to do.

My biggest fear had always been getting hurt, and not being able to leave the game as a player on my own terms.

I play on all the consoles, but Xbox, mostly. I'm versatile, though, so whatever's going on, I'll take care of it.

Each individual has got to look themselves in the mirror and try and see what they can do better. Period. Point blank.

I also play a little bit of Tiger Woods once in awhile. Get on the golf course there, and pretend that I'm beating him.

Every team that I've gone to has had trouble winning games. I guess that's what I've been put on this earth to do, to fix it.

I was just one piece of the puzzle, a very small piece at that. I really enjoyed my time with the Knicks, and we had a great run.

My job is not to scream and yell, my job is to cheer you and be positive. If you miss four shots, I'm still going to pass to you.

I think the big thing with O.J. - I've known him since he was in high school - and he's a great kid, loves the game of basketball.

Someone gave me great advice. That when you're looked on as a pioneer, or you start a trend, you're not always going to benefit from it.

Growing up, Magic Johnson was my idol. He was a good example. He could always pass the ball extremely well and get his teammates involved.

That's why the fears of playing or coaching, you want to do everything possible to make it. A lot of teams make it look real easy, but it is hard.

Joe Prunty will take over, and he will run the team. But nobody gets out of their lane. Joe will still be offense, and Sweeney will still be defense.

For us as coaches, we're in a different locker room. So we're coming in pregame, halftime. They spend a lot more time in that locker room than coaches.

Michael, if you can't pass, you can't play. - Coach Dean Smith to Michael Jordan in his freshman year We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

I don't know if we have any action going on, so there shouldn't be anybody worried about the rumors if it entails the Milwaukee Bucks. This is our team.

I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames; I'm really into them.

This is a tremendous opportunity to be named head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, and it's a role I have been studying for over the course of my playing days.
