It's just a sprained ankle that's sore. It just happened so it's a quick turnaround. The doctors and trainers didn't want me to test it. A day to get it better tomorrow and we'll see. |
It's just about getting the ball around the area of the rim. Some guys hit some shots, we all do, that you just throw up and it goes in. But most of the time you're trying to get it around the area of the rim and give it a chance. You never know what can happen if you get it on the backboard. |
It's just getting familiar with what we're trying to do. I'm sure you'll see better spacing each time in the pre-season. |
It's just getting the ball in your hands and making a play. I've got confidence in myself and my teammates have confidence to get me the ball. |
It's kind of scary where he's at right now, at 21 years old and the way he dominates games. If I didn't know him, I would be surprised (by his development). He's one of the most level-headed guys I've ever met, and he has a will to be the best. |
It's no secret that the Bulls have no one to guard him down low, so he can dominate the game that way. Also, he's in great shape. He's really in playoff mode and we want him to be. We want him to lead this team. |
It's not about not wanting to go there because of the team. It's because of tickets and because of a lot of things [people whisper] in your ear. But what better time for me to get back on track, playing well there in the playoffs? |
It's not one guy sticking me the whole game where we're both getting tired. |
It's seems like those guys don't miss. |
It's the playoffs. I don't want to be worried about how I look. |
Just get it back to Miami. Out in Chicago I never play good. I have a long career ahead of me, so one day I will get one good game in. |
Just the right place at the right time. Some nights are like that. I was able to get in a couple passing lanes and get some picks, but for the most part, it was just being in the right place at the right time. |
Last year my heart was racing up until the point I got picked. This year I was more confident that after a good year people would recognize me as an All-Star. But getting the nod and being a starter, that means so much. |
Last year we had a team that everybody had a role. If it wasn't me and Shaq scoring, everybody was spotting up, hitting the jumper. The main thing is it just takes time to learn each other, learn the system. |
Last year, he just lost weight. And I think at the end of the year that kind of took a toll on him because he didn't have that strength that he used to, to fall back on. ... Shaq is motivated to do something better and help the team. |
