On Being Selfish

Every one of you guys in here, and girls, you know what?  You're as selfish as you can possibly be.  You want what you want.  You know who the most selfish player [is] I've ever been around in my life?  Michael Jordan.  But he did everything he could for his team to win.  And everybody's got to fight it off. 

I mean, if Michael had 40, he wanted 50.  All right?  But because he wanted to beat you.  And every player I've coached has been selfish to some extent. 

Great players are the ones that fight that selfishness off if it's hurting their team.  And that's the challenge we've got with this team.
