I want to congratulate Phil on returning to coach the Lakers. He is one of the premier coaches. I wish him the very best.

I knew I was going to make one. I wanted to make two, but the first one rattled in and rattled right out.

One lucky shot deserves another.

That is why one day I said my game will be like the Pythagorean Theorem - hard to figure out. A lot of people really don't know the Pythagorean Theory. They don't make them like me anymore. They don't want to make them like that anymore.

Down low, it's going to be a whole different mindset. The coaches are going to have to coach to the new rules and that's going to make for a lot of changes in philosophy.

I'm a player, the coaches coach.
