Depending on the point in the game and what's necessary, if you can deliver the play, whatever that is - heck, if it's a screen - and you get a guy open, and he scores a big basket for you, that gives me as much of a charge as anything.

I heal quickly, and I stay in good shape, and I will stay in good shape.

You don't get this opportunity many times in life to compete against the best in the world every night. I certainly didn't expect to have 10 or 11 years of chances at it, so I don't want to take that for granted.

I think records are irrelevant, but I'm being approached about it all the time. If I could avoid it, that would be great.

I don't judge my performance on how many assists I have or how many points I have.

You can find advantages to being small.

I've benefited from great coaches my whole life, starting in sixth grade. To be able to pass that on is a neat experience for me.

I just always believed that all comments are better face-to-face, whether they're derogatory or whether they're not.

It's quite an honor to be selected to represent my country in the Olympics.

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.

Never ask your employees to do something you wouldn't be willing to do yourself.

There are two equalizers in life: the Internet and education.

There are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those who don't know they have been hacked.

When you're a large company with significant market share, it's tempting to view market disruptions as a threat, but we view them as an opportunity.

If every company becomes a technology company, business models and transitions are going to occur. From a CEO's perspective, this is going to be the biggest technology transition of all times.

We'll have a sales leader go run engineering. A lawyer go run business development. A business development leader go run our consumer operations. We're going to train a generalist group of leaders who know how to learn and operate in collaboration teamwork. I think that's the future of leadership.

In France, President Francois Hollande is leveraging the next wave of the Internet to jumpstart economic reforms and create jobs for hundreds of thousands of citizens. A historically socialist government, France has had the courage to quickly implement unique partnerships with the business community to drive entrepreneurial spirit and thinking.

Widening the talent pipeline sufficiently will require a generational commitment to teaching math and science, providing technical training, and mentoring young people of all backgrounds so they understand the full range of possibilities that a career in technology affords.

Often, what I tell a new CEO asking for advice, or one of my own new leaders, is the two most important decisions that your team is going to watch is the first person you hire and the first person you promote - because you are saying that's the type of person I want.

By exciting citizens about the new digital opportunity, breaking down silos of competing groups to form a truly open innovation ecosystem and shifting day-to-day resources to focus on big long-term investments for the future, countries can ensure that they break through and bridge the digital gap.
