It's going to be tough for him because all he knows is basketball. He'd be up late at night watching film and call us to talk to us about basketball. I think it's going to be a tough transition for him.

It was a big win for us and we needed it. Dustin was terrific in the second half and we played much better defensively.

My whole career, I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a game and the last game of my career, to come down like that, was a weird feeling. I kind of stumbled on my way down and a guy came down on my neck, all his weight came right down on my neck.

It hasn't hit us yet. We're definitely surprised. Every year, there's a new rumor that he's going to leave, but we thought it would die down, just like always. It's sad. But I'm thankful I got to play for him for five years.
