I remember Mike the person. He did great things on the court, but the person I got to know off the court, his family, his mom, going to his summer camps are the things I will think of first when I see him.
The change has been in place, this has been an extension of it. Under the new rules, flexibility is at a premium as opposed to our approach in years past to accumulate assets to trade. That doesn't work anymore.
That was the worst half of officiating I've ever seen. That was terrible, and I want it on the record I said that at halftime, no matter what the outcome.
There is no question he has accepted the role and is trying to have as big an impact on every game as he possibly can. As he gets more and more comfortable with it, I think his -- and the team's -- play on offense will continue to improve.
Once you have found out what you love to do, there is only one goal: to be the best in the world at it.

Find something you love to do. If you don't make money at it, at least you love going to work.
I never look at the glass as half empty or half full. I look to see who is pouring the water and deal with them.
Tech stocks were the cubic zirconium of the market. They looked good and were sexy, but they just were a way for the company selling them to make money. That's always going to be transient in terms of the stock market. What's real is that companies have to compete. Technology used well is a great tool to enable that if only because most companies dont use technologies well.
