The Boston Celtics Are Not A Basketball

You Handle Animals. You Deal With People.

Wilt Chamberlain Had A Great Deal To Do With The Success Of The Nba. His Dominance, Power, Demeanor And The Rivalry With Bill Russell Says It All. He Will Be Sorely Missed By Myself And Everyone In The Basketball Community. Wilt Was A Great Performer And A Great Athlete.

You See, In Sports You Have So Many Things That Aren't Expected. There's So Much Uncertainty. So When Players Find Themselves In A Situation Where Management Has A Great Deal Of Integrity And They Can Depend On My Word Or Anybody Else's Word In The Organization, They Feel Secure. And If The Players Feel Secure, They Don't Want To Leave Here. And If They Don't Want To Leave Here, They're Going To Do Everything They Can On The Court To Stay Here.

I Don't Believe In Statistics. There Are Too Many Factors That Can't Be Measured. You Can't Measure A Ballplayer's Heart.

Take Pride In What You Do. The Kind Of Pride I'm Talking About Is Not The Arrogant Puffed-up Kind; It's Just The Whole Idea Of Caring - Fiercely Caring
