I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team. We'll get back into it. Other guys will get back into the flow. It's a bump in the road. |
I'm not going to try to convince him. It's going to be hard to convince him anyway, with a new baby on the way. I just wanted to make my decision before him, so if that helped him any ... |
I'm young. The only thing I told them in the meeting is I would talk to my family and get a feel for being away from my family three years. |
I've only scratched the surface of where I want to be in my career, ... And I know one thing, I haven't won anything yet so there's a lot more I can do there. But I'm going to continue to get better and do what I can to help my team be the best it can possibly be. |
I've talked to him a couple of times. It has always been short, but it's always been good things. He always told me to keep playing the way I play and to continue to carry myself the way I carry myself. I heard through the grapevine that one of the players in the NBA he likes to watch is me. That's a great thing. |
In my mind, the game slowed down because I couldn't be as fast as I wanted to be. That's the way I need to play, under control and seeing everything. |
In the first half, I was just letting them deny me. The second half, I tried to do a better job of getting open. But it's kind of hard to do something when you don't have any arms to do anything, when the guy's all on your arms. It's very tough. |
In this league, you know, you lose games, you come in and you get better. We've got 42 games left. |
It has never been Shaq and Kobe. The only thing would happen is Kobe would come driving, Shaq would foul him, the only time they would cross paths. So, it's going to be a interesting. |
It helps us with our one-on-one game, especially guys that have quick first steps. |
It means a lot to be named a starter in my third year. To be named a starter, with my teammate, going to All-Star, I'm excited and happy and thank the fans for voting me in. I'm grateful for it. |
It takes time to get familiar with guys, |
It was a tough loss, but at the same time we're professionals and we have to take care of business. |
It was an ugly and painful game to watch. |
