I knew they were going to put a lot of pressure on me. I started shooting more jumpers.
I knew from the scouting report that they were going to double team me. So I had to look for the rest of my team whenever they did.
I knew from the get-go we didn't have the energy. I think we had some jitters the first half.
I knew the second he knew he wasn't going to be on the field making an impact that he would call it a career. But it seemed like he would never retire. I thought he'd be George Blanda out there catching passes at 45.
I like improvising a lot. What I like about it is that it's extremely unexpected. I love its total randomness.
I like Gertrude Stein, and spent two weeks with her at the University of Chicago.
I, like many women, buy into patriarchal standards of beauty every day. I very rarely leave the house without make-up. I dye my hair. I wear clothes that I choose carefully for how they make me look to the outside world.
I'm real tight with all of them...at least I think I am.
I'm really trying not to think about it. I've been doing the best I can to just focus on finishing out the schedule for the right reasons, and that's to try to help the team win as many games.
I'm just trying to have a very simple approach in that situation,
I'm looking for him every time. As long as he wants it, I'll give it to him.
I'm kind of the guy that does all the little things that go under the radar. I still try and bring energy and score some points, get some shots, steals -- whatever they ask. I think I am pretty much the same player, just more experienced, better and I get more minutes.
I'm more mature, more confident in this offense,
I'm partial to 'Like a Rolling Stone.' It's the song that fits my era. That and 'Big Boss Man.'
