You have to be smart the way you play him; he shoots the ball so well. You have to go in there and play with energy, try to take him out of his game. But it's going to be tough.
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.
The thing with NBA teams, a lot of times they just want to get you back on the floor to play, so as a player you've got to be very, very smart.
I've had two unlucky injuries that are the equivalent of walking under 1,000 ladders and seeing 1,000 black cats.
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 super-athletic.
