On charges
On Kemba's size“You know what the best shot-block is? Taking a charge,” Dunlap said at Tuesday’s morning shootaround. “When you take a charge it stops the entire team and sends (possession) the other way.
“When you cover a gap (by setting up for a charge) that’s the epitome of unselfishness for the entire organization.”

"It's inexcusable for a pro athlete at this level NOT to be EXTREMELY fit".
From his initial PC as Bobcat coach: "Delay of gratification is not necessarily gratification denied".
Regarding hiring assistants, "As they say in the business books, 'Hire slow, fire fast" '.
A couple I like,
"The gateway to a person’s intellect is to tell them why. They’re not cattle. So capture the mind and the body will follow." (via The Charlotte Observer)
"Simplicity in activity equals consistency." (via @BobcatsBBallPR)

have you guys seen that new Bobcats commercial with Dunlap peptalking the team+ training camp highlights? I thought it was pretty neat, I believe it was on the history channel of all places while I was watching Pawn Stars. cant remember exactly what Dunlap said, something about there being a formula to winning which is attacking the basket, blah blah people will fear the Charlotte Bobcats.
