He's meant so much to all of us, even the people who didn't play for him. But the people who lived in Chicago, who walked the communities, looked for food or looked for a warm place to say, he was always there for you. |
He's really working hard. He believes one day that he'll get back to his original form, and we want to give him every opportunity to do that. |
How are you getting home? |
I am loyal to winning and I am not loyal to any singular individual. I'm going to do what I need to do to make our team better. |
I can't say that I've met a more classy individual in the N.B.A., |
I do envision championship basketball and when you talk about championship basketball, you talk about a good defensive team, you talk about a good offensive team and you talk about a team that really has its act together once they step on the floor. Our goal is to dominate the east and we must continue to dominate the east so that we can have another return to the NBA Finals. And I think mentally we have to become a tougher basketball team. I think mental toughness is going to be the thing that makes us champions. |
I don't think that we will be actively out shopping, trying to make a deal or anything like that. I think it's pretty safe to say we're happy and comfortable with where we are, but if there's an opportunity to improve our team, I definitely will look at it. Coach and I will talk about it and if it makes sense, we'll do it. |
I don't think there's another player who would have done that. We've all been blessed to have known him as a player, and we're all extremely fortunate to know him as a man. |
I think Allan is looking forward to playing, ... He believes one day he'll get back to his original form and we want to give him every opportunity to do that. He's ready to do a little on-court work, but this will be on Allan's timetable. |

I think it was a case of nerves at the beginning of the game. We can not take anything away from Heartland, I told the girls before the game, do not expect them to come and just show up, they came out and played. |
I think the league was just. I understand it's his wife, and we all have the natural instincts to protect our family. However, as professional athletes, we've always been held to a higher standard. |
I think we'll make some changes. |
I thought that would make the best backcourt in the NBA. We never got a chance to do that. |
I would say that right now we're pretty satisfied with where we are. I don't think we will be actively out shopping and trying to make a deal or anything like that. |
