That kind of scared me a little bit, ... I'm known for my powerful dunks, but I've never done anything like that before. It was kind of like one of those old Shaq moves where he yanked the backboard all the way down. It didn't quite come all the way down, but I was surprised I broke it like that. I've never broken a backboard before, let alone an entire basket. I'm only 6-10, 250. Guys who destroy backboards are 7-3, 360. I'm a slim, powerful dunker. It wasn't my intent, but it sure felt good. |
The chemistry on and off court is really helping us a lot. And we also got a floor general like Steve Nash who's going to keep everybody involved. That's always a positive for any team, when you've got a point guard like him. |
The fans are just a pleasure to be around, ... When I'm out in public, they greet me with open arms. Also the organization has been great from the beginning. I think it's only right that I stay here and continue what I started. |
The only thing was when I started to make a strong move, I felt a little stiffness, and when I came down and landed, (I felt) a little stiffness. |
We have guys that can score and still put up the same amount of points we put up last year, and also defend a lot better, |
We're getting the ring this year, ... I'm carrying my load and anybody else's that needs me to. |
What I've achieved now is something that I always figured I would as a kid, ... I've had that type of determination since I was a youngcter playing around the playgrounds, getting dirty after school. |
