I had been told I might be drafted in the fourth round. 'Great,' I said at the time.

I guess I'd rather be comfortable and play well because I'm comfortable than to get recognition and play someplace where I wouldn't be comfortable and wouldn't enjoy myself.

If I pass the ball to Karl Malone, he still has to make the shot, or nothing has happened.

I'm not much of a numbers guy, and yet that's the way I'm defined a lot.

The game's a beautiful game when five guys go out there and give something of themselves so that you can win.

I was just lucky to have a uniform.

Obviously, being in the league for so long, you do have something to offer as a coach.

I had little or no expectations coming in. I was thrilled when I was drafted in the first round because that meant I was going to be given a full year's chance to make the team.

It's always in a cycle. One set of plays will work really well for a time, and then defenses figure it out, and you go to something else.

I never thought I'd make it in the NBA, so everything else is gravy.

I never consciously thought about going all the way through the 'Gonzaga farm system,' but that's the way it happened.

My playing time in 1992 was limited because of an injury I suffered in a practice.

I don't crush the kids. But I do want them to know that they have to earn what they get. I'm not like Jimmy Piersall's dad or anything. I mean, I tell them I'm happy if they just do the best they can. My parents were that way with me.

Usually for the last play, everyone goes helter-skelter. They go to the wrong spots. They don't do the right thing.

If I could turn into my old coaches, or my parents, then I'd consider that a definite plus.

I don't like to give in to injuries. I don't like to use them as excuses. Everybody has them.

The West is tough. Great teams. Great records, top to bottom.

I think I laid it all out there for 19 years, and you don't always achieve all the goals that you shoot for.

With kids and all the other activities around the house, I'm finding it harder to give my full attention to basketball.

You never think about being wide open. I don't know if I can describe the feeling. Tremendous.

I really don't look at my accomplishments. I really don't think about myself much.

I don't think you ever hear anybody shoot the last shot and say they didn't think it was in.

I really don't think of myself as the best player on the team.

Magic is the man. No one is in his class.

My impression is that the NBA always precluded anything else.

It's great to win, regardless of how you did it.

Basketball is a game of streaks. Sometimes a guy will be cold for a month and then get hot for a month.

I don't like to miss games.

Sometimes you're your own worst critic.

Why was I able to be able to pass? What did I do right that allowed me to make a pass - any given pass? There's balance; there's vision.

I love to play, and I appreciate the opportunity to be part of a good organization.
