To be an owner of a team is something I dream of doing once I retire. Maybe even a soccer team and a basketball team. I can't see myself away from basketball if I retire at 30 or 40. That would be something to look at in the future.
We've beaten Dallas and some other teams when we've had guys out. Every week there's a different guy out. We're used to it now and guys are getting used to stepping up. So it hasn't been a problem for us but it would be definitely better to have (Ford back).
We've got to win. These are our rivals, New Jersey, Chicago and Philly.
Underdog isn't even the word to describe us. I don't know what we are. I mean, we're under-under-under-underdogs.
When we have lapses defensively, then we start throwing rocks at the rim. It all goes downhill at once. We don't get stops and they score and we come down and shoot up rocks. That's the problem with us. One thing happens to us (defensively) and we turn it over or take a bad shot on the next possession and it all collapses.
The only way to beat Phoenix is hope to get them on a bad day and hope they miss shots.
You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.
Winning the Rookie of the Year would be nice but making the playoffs would be even nicer for me.
Playing in sold out arenas several nights a week is something I have never experience before. I want to experience that. I want to experience that in my first year and build on that.
I'm not a fan of baseball really.
I'm not into jewelry. I've got some earrings but they're not too expensive. There are guys who drop a hundred grand for a chain. The public's got it right - a lot of NBA stars are arrogant and like to spend lots of money and have lots of girlfriends and all that.
A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.
It's definitely different in the States. Americans are much different people compared to us. We're much more laid back. I itch to get back to Australia every summer because it's so fast paced there and so stressful.
I can cook a little bit but pretty much when I get back from practice I am pretty tired that I just order out.
