Going back in time, the best sportsmen ever have been Olympians.

Sportspersons have to reinvent themselves every day. It helps them improve.

Sportswriters have changed more than sportswriting.

If I look what sport has done in my life, I don't think there's any doubt that sport can change lives.

Times do keep changing - thank God.

What is learned on the athletic field is not forgotten, nor are the lessons of character that are forged there ever lost. Consider the contributions in the field of public life, business, law, medicine, and the military of those who actively participated in athletics.

It's extremely hard for athletes to accept what's happened to them sometimes. It's hard to be beaten by a small margin, and I've spoken with athletes who, for years afterward, have been tormented by the knowledge that, had they done something ever so slightly different, they could have been one-ten-thousandth of a second quicker.

I know sport can change the world, and that matters to me.

We want to make sure our athletes have a future once their athletics careers are over.

Technology is changing the world; it's changing our sport. It's changing the way people are following the NBA.
