He's a lot stronger. Last year he lost weight and I think that took a toll on him at the end of the year because he didn't have the strength to fall back on.
He's got, like, two suits, ... and they're terrible. I just keep it real with him.
He's got his legs back and he's finishing his plays. He's more active getting deep and we're looking for him and finding him.
Guys know what they need to do, but at the same time, I think they're still trying to understand what coach Riley wants them to do.
He's back. He's healthy. He's in better condition. He's hungry and wants the ball. He wants his team to be better.
I feel good. We have a three-game winning streak and guys are playing good. Shaq and myself are getting into the flow. It is giving us confidence.
Growing up, you always watched those games, you always wanted to be in those games. If you're playing on holidays, you're a good team and then people think highly of you, let me say that. So it's an accomplishment if you're playing on a holiday. If you're not, then you want to be.
I can honestly say if I had gotten (the gold) the first time, it probably would have been a different scenario this time around.
I am excited to extend my partnership with one of the premier shoe and apparel companies in the world. Converse represents tradition, a passion for sports and has a vision to revolutionize the industry.
I am really excited to have signed my first NBA contract today. It's nice to now concentrate more about playing than the business side of things.
I apologized to the team for it. You don't want to ever do that. I try not to say anything to the refs, but once in a while, I do. It hurt my team because they ended up scoring in transition.
This team came out and beat us. Every time we made a run, they came back and made a run. We lost this one. ... We know that we're a couple of shots and a couple of defensive plays away from being a great team.
We got a couple of guys in foul trouble and Coach continued to rest us and let the reserves come in. They played good, but the Bulls really wanted it.
We go as far as the big guy takes us.
