• In 1989 at Greater Saint Steven Full Gospel Church, I gave my life to Christ. That's pretty much where it all started for me. I was 23 years old at the time, right after my first year in the NBA. The pastor preached a message about being fully committed. That pretty much was me. I wasn't fully committed. I was kind of in and out all of the time. So I just wanted to make a commitment.

• En cierto modo, a la gente no le importa que tengas familia. Con un trabajo tan importante como el mío, sólo quieren que ganes partidos de baloncesto. Puedes hacerlo y mantener a tu familia unida. Hago todo lo que puedo para asistir a los entrenamientos de baloncesto, tenis o recitales. En mi primer año en Dallas, mi hijo (entonces de 11 años), Avery Jr, me dijo: "Sabes papá, sigues siendo el mejor entrenador de la NBA". Yo le dije: "Pero aún no he ganado un partido de playoffs". Y él dijo: "Está bien. Sigues siendo mi papá". Eso te hace sentir bien.

• My standards are so high because of who I serve but it doesn't put any water on my fire for winning. I'm still an intense person. You can be intense and saved. You can compete and still be saved. You can challenge a guy and still be saved. There was nothing soft about me as a player and there isn't anything soft about me as a coach. You want to be a man of integrity and you want the players to know that you care about them. Whether or not they still like you or not is a whole other deal.

• There are a lot of things that make players really good coaches. Whether you've played in the NBA or not, there are certain things you have to master and be really good at. They just have to be gifted in these areas. You've got to be competent. Secondly, you've got to be able to communicate. You can have a picture in your mind on how to score but if you can't communicate it, if you can't teach it, what good is it? You've got to be brutally honest and be a man of strong character and then you've got to have class. They've got to respect you.

• Tuve mucha suerte. No creo en la suerte, así que fui muy afortunado. Dios me bendijo en términos de salud. ... Estaba muy sano. Pero intenté poner de mi parte en términos de preparación, en términos de perseverancia. Intenté poner de mi parte para asegurarme de que siempre estaba listo para jugar e intentar mantenerme en cabeza. Intenté vencer a la gente con la mente. No era el más grande ni el que saltaba más alto, pero tenía un alto coeficiente intelectual de baloncesto y lo sabía. ... Estudiaba el juego e intentaba prepararme, ser profesional y tener una buena actitud. Todas esas cosas me ayudaron a tener una larga carrera.

• Creía que llegaría (a la NBA). Creía que lo conseguiría. Pero tenía un plan B. Iba a hacer un máster en la Universidad de Tulane si no funcionaba. Creo que la presión de conseguirlo no era tan grande para mí como para otros jugadores que no tenían otras opciones. Iba a hacer algo especial en la vida y quería jugar en la NBA. Tenía un plan alternativo, pero seguí adelante a toda velocidad con mi Plan A.

• I'm passionate about coaching and being able to mentor young men in a lot of different ways. I think it's good to be able to do what you love to do. It's been in me since the beginning. I was telling my college coach what to do and he trusted me. When I got into the NBA, I started having conversations with coaches. Coach Gregg Popp(avich) brought a lot out in me. Coach Don Nelson gave me an incredible opportunity to spend some time with him and he molded me but at the same time allowed me to be myself.

• Every era of coaches has their own set of problems and challenges. Today's player is different, but some things about them are better than they were in the past. I don't think coaching today's players is any tougher. I think we're a little too hard on the current day player because he's different.

• Cuando crecí en Nueva Orleans, mis padres iban a la iglesia. Iba a misa con ellos. Además, iba a una escuela católica, así que me fascinaba la Iglesia católica, sobre todo porque, en mi opinión, (sus servicios) no duraban tanto. Iba y venía de la iglesia baptista de mi madre, que se llamaba Second Zion Baptist, y de la iglesia católica.
