George, for the last two days, was stressing the fact that, if the playoffs started tomorrow, (Memphis) would be the team we'd be playing against. I think we wanted to make a statement that if we play y'all in the playoffs, this is what y'all are going to see.
I'm feeling really good about our chances in the series. Me knowing how much fight I have in me and how much fight we have as a team. We always rebound. We're not going to steal Game Two; we're going to earn the win.
I let the team down. We still had a chance to win the game, so of course I think I let the team down. Not just the team, but the whole organization.
I made a promise to him that in '06 I would come back (to the gym) at night. I've got to keep that promise.
I got an owner that looks out for me. You can't beat that.
I smile all the time, even when I'm in a bad mood. I always try to keep a smile on my face.
You've got to have fun on the court. If you ain't having fun, then basketball ain't fun.
I don't put pressure on myself. When I put pressure on myself, then I just play bad. When I play bad, my team plays bad.
Every year it's been people saying I can't do this or I can't do that. Y'all will see something different, I can tell you that.
I have my own identity as a player.
Man, I think the sky is the limit for this team.
I understand the NBA and the role I play on my team. I know that I have to play a leadership role and do whatever I have to do to win.
I think going to college for that one year was probable the best thing I have ever done.
I can't palm a basketball.
