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.
In the first half, I was just letting them deny me. The second half, I tried to do a better job of getting open. But it's kind of hard to do something when you don't have any arms to do anything, when the guy's all on your arms. It's very tough.
I will be soon. Hopefully I will be there in 2008 at the Olympics. Hopefully when I get out there one day soon I will get a warm ovation.
He'll sneak a chicken nugget from me once in a while.
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.
Converse has history. I want to be part of what comes next.
It's kind of scary where he's at right now, at 21 years old and the way he dominates games. If I didn't know him, I would be surprised (by his development). He's one of the most level-headed guys I've ever met, and he has a will to be the best.

I'm just a kid in a candy store right now, trying to have fun. I'm getting a chance to show my ability and my talent.
Watching him play and watching him talk about the seasons that they had is motivating. I grew up watching it, so to hear the inside scoop of the championships they won and watching him play is a motivation.
We're going to miss Eddie a lot, the defense he brought and the way he chased guys around the court. I want to see who's going to do that.
We have to go up there and try to get the first one.
