I know him pretty well and it hurts me to see him like that. Once you have back problems, they're not going to go away the next day or the next week. If I could tell him anything, I'd just say relax and rest it.
I knew they were going to double- team, triple-team me. I was missing shots that I would never miss. Shots that I have to take. Shots around the basket. . . . That was their game plan. They want somebody else to beat them.
I knew that we were down by 14 points and my team needed me out there. Halftime, I told them that it was time for me to wake up and go out there and win the game.
I knew my shot wasn't going in from the outside, so I decided to keep on going to the hole and get some fouls called.
I knew I was going to get a shot up. It was just a matter of what type of shot I was going to get.
I'm more concerned by the way we came out sluggish. It was a good win.
I'm just playing my game and not worrying about who we're playing against. It's nice to come home and show the fans what we've been doing on the road. We've been playing well, especially the past eight games or so.
I'm just happy we won. I'm glad my teammates have confidence in me to get me the ball down the stretch.
I'm just excited about the project. I think that we are going to have a lot of fun to come.
I just hope my involvement brings a wider fan-base and more interest to an already exciting and fun sport.
I hope so. I'm just going to wait and see. I feel comfortable. . . . But there are lot of forwards in the West doing really good.
I don?t regret coming to college. I had a fun year. I had a great year on the court, and off the court at school.
I didn't know what the numbers were, but I knew I needed to hit some shots. Then I realized I was going off all by myself.
He's looking good - better than what I thought he (would) coming back from a broken hand. He's looking real good.
