To Change A Team You Must Change

As I Look Back On The Day I Signed My Professional Contract In 1973, I've Never Gone To Sleep Wondering If I Could Pay The Bills Or Take Care Of My Family. That's What Basketball Has Done For Me. It's Given Me The Greatest Of Thrills From High School To College To The Olympics To Coaching To Broadcasting.

Work As Hard As You Can To Become As Good An Individual Player As You Can To Help Your Team Win

The 76ers Hold A Special Place In My Heart And I Am Intrigued By The Opportunity To Return To Philadelphia, Where I Was Part Of A Rebuilding Program, Joining The Team The Year After It Went 9-73 And Going To The Nba Finals Just Four Years Later.

I Think Every Time You Coach A Certain Team, When You Leave That Franchise, I Think You Continue To Grow. You Take A Look At The Things That You Did, The Things You Wish You Had Done Better. You Analyze Your Strengths And Your Weaknesses, And Then When You Move To Your Next Job, You Continue To Do The Same Thing.

We've Got To Get Our Fans Back. We've Got To Start Winning And Get Our Fans Excited About The 76ers Again... We're Selling Hope. This Is About Hope. We Have Hope That We Have A Chance To Be Good.
