I'm going in the right way, ... I'm going in as a coach of a team, with the team that put me on the map. That was the most talented team I've ever coached in 16 years as a pro.

We're 30 years older now, so you can go back and appreciate things a lot more, ... It's made for a wonderful year.

We don't have the big bad wolf Lakers, ... but who's to say there will not be another terrific team in two years. If (Shaquille O'Neal) holds up, Miami could be that team.
