beauty equality gave intellect looked parity people pride realize recognize respect sell white
What he looked for was parity and equality and respect, and I think that he did get. Now, the respect, yes, I don't know if we have the parity and the equality because there are still advertisers who don't think of Ebony. There are still advertisers who don't think of Jet. Where we have to go in and sell them and re-sell them constantly, constantly, but I think it's the respect of the white community, that's what he wanted. I want people to realize what he did for African-Americans; he gave us a face. He made people recognize the beauty in us, the intellect in us, and also the pride that we have.

asked couple happened nights saw team
He asked us what happened to the team he saw a couple of nights ago at Pulaski.
came defense happy quite rush team three
They have the No. 1 rush defense in the league. We did get three touchdowns, and we can be happy about that. That's one positive. Tatum's not going to say it or show it, but I know it's not quite what he wanted. It wasn't the day for him, but he came close, and it's one of the times where you're happy to be a team that's 13-3 and not 3-13.
double last loss pay sure team whoever
Somebody's got to pay for that loss and somebody's got to pay for that double team last week. It's sure not going to be me, and it's not going to be us. Whoever is in the way of our goals, whoever is in the way of us getting that W, has to pay.
boards both close couple fortunate hard plays pressure teams
It was just a hard-fought game, close all the way. Both teams put a lot of pressure on the ball, both teams really went to the boards hard ... we were just fortunate and made a couple more plays than they did.
exhausted team
I was exhausted out there. I just do what I can for our team to get a win.
attacks attitudes basketball bring coach court directed disturbed effort family forward issue parent percent players positive recalled resolution son successful support team totally toward unusual verbal
As a parent of a varsity basketball player, I have been disturbed by the verbal attacks and accusations directed toward coach Jackson, ... I find it unusual that incidents, such as mooning, are recalled by some players, but not others. We look forward to the resolution of this distracting issue and a successful upcoming basketball season. Hopefully, all players on this year's team will have positive attitudes and will bring 110 percent effort to the court every day. My son and my family totally support coach Jackson.
team three won
I've said this many, many times: I don't need to be validated, not in basketball, ... I've won three championships. I was on the all-defensive team (nine times).
chance difference games ourselves rally team trying
It is a disappointing loss. When we come to the games we try and give ourselves a chance to win. I wasn't trying to rally the team by getting ejected; I think it was more a difference of opinion.
basketball chance forgotten guy holding instead looked mavericks mentally movement player pounding shots step team teams win
I think the Mavericks -- our team -- we've kind of forgotten who we are as basketball team and what made us successful. It wasn't shots on the offense. It wasn't holding the ball. We've kind of looked like some of our old teams with one guy pounding the ball instead of ball movement and player movement. We haven't been physical. Is that because we've been fatigued? I don't know. I know we've been a step slow. I can see that -- mentally and physically. We just need to get back to being who we are, and I think that will give us a better chance to win some of these games.
easier obviously sister team together upset yell
I told (her), obviously jokingly, that if she didn't put my sister on the team I'd quit. I think it's easier for us to play together because we can yell at each other and not get upset about it.
drove father fire pulled team
I never thought I'd live long enough to see it like this. I was never on the fire department, but I drove a team of Belgians for years that pulled the pumper. My father pulled the pumper before that. This just makes my day.
acquiring creating dangerous eddie goes johnson large standpoint team wizards
In large part acquiring Eddie Johnson is something from a Wizards standpoint that goes a long way to solidifying our offense, creating a team that's dangerous and comes through in the clutch.
