The main thing he's added is his confidence. He knows he's the best on the floor almost every night and that takes him a long way.
I think you can just check my phone bill, man, ... Stan was on my phone all summer.
Last year my heart was racing up until the point I got picked. This year I was more confident that after a good year people would recognize me as an All-Star. But getting the nod and being a starter, that means so much.
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.
I was just doing what we always do and followed it up.
It's no secret that the Bulls have no one to guard him down low, so he can dominate the game that way. Also, he's in great shape. He's really in playoff mode and we want him to be. We want him to lead this team.
It was a tough loss, but at the same time we're professionals and we have to take care of business.
It's great to win against probably the hottest team in the NBA. The game was very competitive and no one was going to back down from anyone.
(It) was my best game in a while.
I mean, you can't really celebrate after you hit the free throw. But if you miss the free throw, yeah, it takes the whole and-one thing out the window. Then it's just a basket.
I'm not going to try to convince him. It's going to be hard to convince him anyway, with a new baby on the way. I just wanted to make my decision before him, so if that helped him any ...
Everybody was calling. I think everybody called every player in the league. That's history right there.
I didn't have to look for my shot today, so I was able to do some other things. Coach put the ball in my hands tonight to make things happen and see what I could do.
I didn't have my athletic ability tonight the way I would have liked to have it. But I was able to make the plays I had to make with a couple blocked shots and a couple steals. I would have liked to have more athletic ability tonight, but I did what I had to do.
