I am very lucky to be around these players and this team. They're great players. They're all winners. I feel lucky to be here. But I haven't played in three years, so it's bad for me.

I came here to play basketball. I didn't come to watch. I could have watched the games on TV. That's why it was a nightmare for me, knowing every night that I wasn't going to play. I'm happy that I'm out of there and in Orlando.

I didn't come here to sit on the bench. I tell myself that everything will be fine here, but right now, nothing has changed. I want to play. I need to play. I learn nothing sitting on the bench.

I feel good. I want to show how hard I want to play.

I know what I can do. Coach understands that I'm new here and he's learning what I can do. Like (Wednesday night), I play 25 minutes and have three shots. Three shots in 25 minutes is strange to me. (Hill) said he understands and he's going to give me more balls in the post. He's still trying to learn about me and how best to use me.

I'm happy to get another chance to play, to see what I can do. In Detroit, it was horrible for me. A nightmare.

I'm not 100 percent, but it's going to be better. I have to get better. I've got to work.

I've got to find that again. Because for these three years, they killed almost everything. I never got a chance to play. Just waking every morning and knowing that you're not going to play at night, that's killer.

It's a good feeling to get minutes, and that's why I came here. I was just trying to stop Yao and step in front of him and just couldn't.
|
It's going to take some time. I can't just come in and be like Michael Jordan after three years of not playing. It's still going to take time to get the feeling back, get my conditioning back, get everything back.
|
It's just something that comes natural to me. It comes natural if you have a feeling for it. You have to know when to jump and when to stay on the ground, stuff like that.
|
It's nice being here and getting a chance to play. I enjoy the game again because I'm a part of the team. It's why I came (to America), to get to play and be counted on to help the team.
|
It's really crazy. The fans, the people are crazy about it. A lot of people, they have no money over there. Some people work months for those tickets to come see us play a game.
|
It's unbelievable. I don't even have contact with a guy, and they call a foul. It's (messed) up. Whatever.

Our families have been fighting for long time.
