We are digging ourselves a big hole in these games. Maybe what we need is to have a reality check, and fall out of the playoffs, and (realize) that the playoffs can be taken away from us.
We are really trying to make a run to the playoffs right now. I feel like if we just win and take care of that stuff, those accolades will come.
I try to penetrate the lane like Steve Nash, pass like Jason Kidd, and handle the ball like Allen Iverson. Remember, I said 'try to'.
Every now and then you're going to get beaten, but we work hard.
I always have said that the most valuable thing I have isn't money; it's my time.
For me, it's all about who you are. Some athletes may feel a responsibility. Some may not. One thing I've talked with my family and team about is doing more. Trying to make an impact.
Whatever I have to do to help us win, I'll do.
Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.
I play basketball to win a championship. That championship is everything to me. And thats what gets people to buy in to your brand - being a winner.
You only get a chance to live your dream once, and I'm living mine right now.
Being close ain't good enough.
I'm not much into anything too flashy.
It's a business now. But you still have little butterflies in your stomach before every game.
Sometimes the fans are too nice.
