It's a dream come true. Now it's time for us to do something.

Just a little tweak. Nothing to worry about.

This feels so great. I've been waiting for this my whole life, to be in this situation. I'm so happy for everyone.
great hearts history knew played stepped team wrote
It's great to be part of history. We wrote it and now we are part of history. We played our hearts out. My team stepped up while I was on the bench, which I knew they would do because that's the kind of team we got.
anyone becoming confidence drop maybe practice shoot stay talk
If you don't practice, you're going to stay where you are or drop off. I don't think you can talk anyone into becoming a better free-throw shooter. You have to want it yourself. (Camara) is going to try and shoot them a little different. I don't think he has ever made 27-of-30 in practice before, so maybe now he'll have that confidence you need to be good.
guy heart passion wants
Rebounding is about heart. If you want the ball, you go get it. I'm not a 7-footer like (others). I'm just a guy who wants to get a rebound. I have a passion for getting it.
based came decision help hurt level next reason
There's no reason to come back. It wouldn't help me get to the next level if I came back. It can only hurt me. I made the decision based on that. This has been my dream, and now I have the opportunity.
help quick team
If we can get two quick fouls on him, that will help us out a lot. They're a different team when he's on the bench.
finally step
We finally got everyone in. It's the first step for us.
confidence deal everybody gives great high mountain team win
We think we can win every game, and that gives you a great deal of confidence. Everybody on the team has confidence right now. We're high on the mountain and everything's going well. We're doing everything we have to do to win the game.
business deal education great people process talking trust
The process (last year) was a lot of work, but also a great education on how it is a business. I know who to trust on this. The people who know what they're talking about will tell me what the real deal is.
