I don't get all wound up. I accept things as they come. I've always stressed moderation. I never got too high or too low. I think it helps being on an even keel. It was the same way with our players. I never wanted any excessive celebration if we outscored someone in a game or excessive dejection if we didn't. If you can stick to it, it helps. |
I feel that I make an honest living. I take care of my children. I feel that there should be something for me. |
I liked quickness very much and Pete had it. And I really liked his acceptance of the role he had. He didn't get to play nearly as much as he expected to when he came, but he accepted it. |
I never drank alcohol or used tobacco, but George Burns used to smoke a lot and lived to over 100, so maybe that's not the reason, |
I never wanted a championship as much as I did that first one, ... After the first one in 1964, the titles seemed to come in droves.

I see some of myself in Joe. |
I would never have a player come close to taking that many shots in a game. I don't ever recall seeing a player who could do so much with a basketball, but he never played on a championship team. |
I'd like to very much because that's home back there. |
I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent. |
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over? |
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over? |
If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes. |
It doesn't make any difference what they go on to, it's a great feeling to see them doing well. I'm just as proud of the ministers and the doctors and the attorneys and the businessmen n every one of 'em. |
It has to be a team concept. It isn't an individual game. |
