“We talk about touching our guys in a personal way, knowing that we all...” — Monty Williams Quote

We talk about touching our guys in a personal way, knowing that we all want to play basketball and coach basketball, but our guys are dealing with stuff and we want to make sure we are sensitive to that.

Having already been a head coach and having been fired, you never want to be in a situation where you're not prepared.

I'm not going to sit here and complain about a team that is aggressive.

I'm a man who has failed in many areas, but the one thing I don't want to do is quit.

It is time to raze the institutional foundations of racism and segregation within politics, law enforcement and society at large.

I'm competitive. You can ask my family. Even if it's not basketball, it's anything.

I just knew right away - this thing's going to be everywhere. It's going to be played at every basketball game, hockey game. You're going to hear 'All Star' - just like you always hear 'Hells Bells' or 'Back in Black.'

I think God put me on this earth to play basketball.

When it came to basketball, I was a fanatic. I started to focus solely on basketball the summer before my freshman year in high school. I worked on my shooting in the driveway, drawing up charts where I recorded each day's performance. I spent hours working alone on ball-handling. I ran five miles a day and played games against my friends.
