I actually feel sorry for people who have nothing to do on Christmas Day other than watch an NBA game.
I'm sick of people who supported Trump saying, 'Get over it. You lost.' That's not how America works. We get to critique him the same way they constantly fought Obama. As long as I have a platform, I will continue to speak up because it's my responsibility.
When you have privilege, you have to been quiet and listen.
I meant what I said about how electing Donald Trump will set our country back. I stand by that. However, I do wish that I wouldn't have made the blanket statement about not respecting anybody who voted for Trump.
My dad coached 41 years, and I was always around coaches.
Shaq's a very sensitive guy.
I've been around a lot of great coaches in college and the NBA, and I knew Erik Spoelstra three months, and I told my wife, father, and brother that this guy is going to be a helluva coach.
I really think the people I run into in the NBA, whether it's the front office side or in coaching, everybody wants to work in an atmosphere where everybody's pulling in the same direction.
I have been in a unique position to hear from players and staff members about the issues they and their families have had to encounter.
Rondo's a great player, and most teams look at it that anytime you have a chance to get a great player, you do it.
I make an excellent salary and work a great job. A lot of the people who voted for Trump don't. Let's say you say you're out of a job and believe this guy is going to get you on back on your feet. You might overlook some stuff not because you believe it. But you're that desperate. They're wrong. But it's what they believe.
Every coach in every sport, one of their larger concerns is the balance between work and rest. We all think about it all the time.
Our founding fathers declared independence from Great Britain because they were dissatisfied with the laws and policies that they believed abridged their freedoms. Had they taken the stance that many want our professional athletes to take - to just shut up and honor your country no matter what - we would be living in British colonies.
I am more off-the-cuff and wear my emotions on my sleeve more than I should.
Exacerbating the problem of mass incarceration is that, even after someone is released from prison, the stigma of a misdemeanor or felony conviction makes finding gainful employment difficult, if not impossible.
People should never be permitted to feel comfortable while trampling the rights of others.
It's hard to be successful over the long term if you're not unified and there's not that synergy between coach and front office.
I've been privileged to coach a lot of great people, high-character guys, and I don't think I've ever coached a better professional than Joel Anthony.
LeBron is LeBron. They're not going to call offensive fouls on him. He gets to do what he wants.
Sometimes expanding your game isn't better. Sometimes shrinking your game is a little bit better and really get to the things you do well.
