The Miami Heat organization is the best team organization he has ever worked for.

Societal issues can infiltrate sports as long as they do not disrupt the game itself.

“Colin Kaepernick you can protest I defend them all the time from the standpoint listen he took a knee he did this he did that but guess what he didn't do he didn't get in the way a kickoff time he let the games were being played”

He criticizes the tendency of sports organizations to gatekeep their products and discourage outsiders from engaging with them.

“Not a baseball program at all, which I think is why a lot of baseball people are pissed off, which then I go back to like why do you have to be gatekeeping about your product? Like baseball is awesome.”

A player's ability to remain composed and play with energy determines their effectiveness on the court.

“I think like when Dub is like out there yelling and he's out there playing with energy and playing like his true like to that, I think that's when he's his best self.”

A player should run their own race and not compare their personal journey to those of other players.

“I always just try to tell guys like to run their own race and like everybody has their own journey. And I feel like I mean AC can talk about it the most, but like you can't compare what you're going through to anybody else.”

“I think if we look at the the game right now, I think we're now finding that happy medium of physical play with skill and talent.”

Building a successful sports culture involves creating a strong sense of community and making players feel included, as demonstrated by the Golden State Valkyries.
