Really, throughout my career, what I've done is taken teams with bad records and with every situation I've made them better.

I can't remember any regrets, to be honest with you.

I love Maui.

I spent 50 years in the NBA. Can you imagine doing something that you love the most in the entire world and doing it for your entire life and, besides that, getting a pile of money for it? It's unbelievable. I'm the luckiest guy in the world. And I know it.

You have a lot of ups and downs in coaching, especially, but I can't remember any bad times at this point. I mean, they're all good. A lot of tears when you lose, a lot of down times, but I can't remember any of them. They're all positive now. Even the bad times were good.

When you have bad teams, you've got to be creative to win games you're not supposed to win.
