    "...basketball is an expression of life, a single, sometimes glittering thread, that reflects the whole. Like life, basketball is messy and unpredictable. It has its way with you, no matter how hard you try to control it. The trick is to experience each moment with a clear mind and open heart. When you do that, the game--and life-- will take care of itself."

    "In basketball -- as in life -- true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way. Of course it's no accident that things are more likely to go your waywhen you stop worrying about whether youre going to win or lose and focus your full attention on whats happening right this moment."
