I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing.
Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound.
You have to be able to psychologically help your players, support-wise, be in touch with them, so I think managing people is very important.
I replaced three joints in my hips and one in my knee. I'm hoping that other knee doesn't have to be done. It's one of the toughest things to overcome.
I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.
When you gotta go through something tough, I've always been a guy that just wants to get it out of the way.
There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.
In college, I probably lost a total of about 11 games, and then I came to the Celtics and in my first three weeks we went on a nine-game losing streak.
They have so fundamentally flawed techniques it's ridiculous. They shoot the ball flat. They all stand upright, there's just so many things they do incorrectly.
I have no regrets about my career or retiring. Not once have I thought 'Gosh, I wish I was back on the court.
I am being taken care of by a higher being than myself or my coaches or my training staff.

I am like that guy on the 'Odd Couple,' and it is not the neat guy. I go into my room and find pieces of pizza under the laundry.
For me, honestly, it's not about individual accomplishments, individual award. It's about what I've got to do and how I can contribute to the team.
Being gay has nothing to do with the three gold medals or the three MVPs or the four championships I've won. I'm still the same person. I'm Sheryl.
Some people might say my coming out after just winning the MVP award is heroic, and I understand that.
I was very bitter, frustrated, hurt, angry - I went through all types of emotions when I first was out of the WNBA.
I loved the atmosphere of the dance studios - the wooden floors, the big mirrors, everyone dressed in pink or black tights, the musicians accompanying us - and the feeling of ritual the classes had.
Once you know what to expect, it gets easier and easier. And now I know what I have to do to prepare for each season and what to expect through each season.
