Defense doesnt break down on the help it breaks down on the recovery.

The two championship years were that significant for me.

If you're going to have to beg them to play, it's not going to work.

Defense cant guard two things in a row.

To some degree. I know I couldn't do it anymore.

The important thing is to get the right players on the team so Mike can be successful.

I think the Pistons have such a well rounded team, which is why they're so successful. All you have to do is look at the stats defensively and at their rebounding and scoring.

I've had too lengthy a career and coached too many players to make a choice.

Its discouraging to make a mistake but its humiliating when you find out youre so unimportant that nobody noticed it.

I do some broadcasting and speaking as well.

There's nothing like being involved with a team that can go that distance.

Though I'd have to say it was generally the guys in Detroit, as a group, that won the two Championships. They were terrific and I always look back very fondly.
