A plane is a guilty pleasure. I have one. It's a great luxury. I appreciate it. I couldn't do what I do. It's not something you can write down as anything other than, Wow, I can't believe I have this and I'm absolutely spoiled and entitled. On the other hand, I have one and I use it.

I don't have a lot of experience running basketball teams.I'm just trying to get smart enough even to understand everything going on.

If you told me when I bought the team that there were 12 kinds of pick and rolls, I would've told you I have no frickin' clue about that.
