Mike Krzyzewski Lakers
During his long tenure at Duke, Krzyzewski has been given the opportunity to coach in the NBA at least five times. The first time came after the 1990 season when he led the Blue Devils to their third straight Final Four appearance. The Boston Celtics offered a coaching position to Krzyzewski, but he soon declined their offer. The next season, Krzyzewski proceeded to lead the Blue Devils to the first of two straight national championships. In 1994, he was pursued by the Portland Trail Blazers, but again he chose to stay with Duke. In 2004, Krzyzewski was also interviewed by the Los Angeles Lakers following the departure of high-profile coach Phil Jackson. He was given a formal offer from Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, reportedly for five years, $40 million and part ownership, but again turned down the NBA. In 2010, the New Jersey Nets were reportedly willing to pay Krzyzewski between $12 million and $15 million per season to coach the Nets. Krzyzewski again declined the offer and stayed at Duke. In 2011, Krzyzewski was offered the vacant coaching position for the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he again declined the offer and chose to stay at Duke.
Mike Krzyzewski Quotes
- To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.
- The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions.
- Imagination has a great deal to do with winning.
- The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.
- I had a really bad temper when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.
- Throughout my life, my mom has been the person that I’ve always looked up to.
- My ambition in high school was to be a high school coach and teacher, and that’s still what I do: teach.
- I always won in my imagination. I always hit the game-winning shot, or I hit the free throw. Or if I missed, there was a lane violation, and I was given another one.
