Joining the EA Sports team is a great way to cap off my college career. Growing up, I played EA Sports games all the time and to now be the spokesman for 'NCAA March Madness 06' is incredible.
I'm not backing down from what I said, regardless of who says whatever about it,
I'm not backing down from what I said. I wasn't saying (it) to be bold or to be cocky. I was saying it because I have confidence in my team and my teammates. That's the mentality that I'm trying to bring to this team.
There's no beef between us, ... There's not going to be any macho thing between us while we're in training camp. We're just coming into training camp trying to make our team better.
J.R.'s got some hops, so it was really fun playing out there with him. He's part of the family, and the whole event signifies our Carolina family.
Raymond would come by and see me covered in sweat, and I wasn't working in the day; I was working all night, ... He'd come in and he'd just shake his head. But he knew I had to work. He knew it had to be done.
Our chances are great. We are a great team.
I do want to play, I don't want to sit the bench. But if I don't start, Coach did that for a reason. I'm not going to complain about that. I'm going to be ready to play when my time is here.
Everybody was getting very excited about our team (Latta High School) in the state championship. But I'd been hearing about her in the state championships. I had to see her. She's so small. She's got a lot of heart. She's not scared of anybody.
She's great. I've been a fan since high school.
In ninth grade, I figured he maybe could finally beat me,
This showed if we don't take care of the ball against really good teams, we're not going to be successful.
We all dreamed about this moment, just to be able to give back to your mom and dad, ... We can never give back to them what they've given to us for all of our years. But just trying to start, just by telling your mom and dad they don't have to work if they don't want to, or take them home a brand new car, something they've never had, it's just a wonderful feeling.
We were staying in the game, but when (Jefferson) got hot, he spread the lead. They took it up to 15 and 18. We'd cut it back down but he'd come down and hit two big threes. He had it going tonight. We had no answer for him. We played great defense, and he still was hitting it.
