[Karl] definitely has a lot of State jokes, ... I'm like, 'Come on, Coach.' But he's my boss. Whatever he says goes. |
All Coach Karl does is talk about UNC, ... And I can't say nothing about it. |
Being from New York City was definitely tough going, and coming out here to Colorado, I was definitely thinking that was real ironic. I'm very happy and I'm going to take advantage of each day that I'm here on this Earth. |
Definitely. I'm really looking forward to being out there on the football field in front of all our fans. I'll probably throw on a Derek Morris jersey, and then afterwards get ready to see the Wolfpack get the Hokies. |
Earlier this season, I said I'd walk barefoot from Raleigh to Cary [a nearby city] to not only get in the tournament, but to win a championship. I guess I had to take one [a shot to the groin] for us to do it. |
He punched me in the groin and the ref saw it, A lot of times when I go on the road, I feel like the most hated man in the ACC, but you've got to play through that. |
He's been telling me to make sure that if you practice at 11 o'clock and (Karl) wants you to be there at 10, you show up at 8:45, |
I don't want to say what coach Karl is throwing at me isn't tough - that it isn't as hard as my brother - because he's just going to throw more at me. I'm not going to set myself up, but growing up in Harlem, New York, it was definitely hard and this is just another bump in the road. Once I get past it, I'll be that much stronger. |
I got a lot of time at the point guard position, learning how to run a team (in Austin). I think I got better and better every day. For the most part, it was a good experience. I'm just going to continue to work every day, and if coach calls my number, I'll be ready. |
I hope we're in the tournament now. That was a great win against a possible No. 1 seed. And we didn't just win -- for the most part in the second half, we were dominating the game. |
I just felt jubilation. I thought all the hard work I put in for four years paid off. I'm going to try to do the same thing I did in college at the next level. |
I want to say a special thank you to the Good Samaritan who showed the true character of Colorado people. I would love the opportunity to meet with her and express my gratitude personally. |
I want to take this opportunity to let everyone know that I'm feeling good and on the road to recovery. |
I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support during this time. The Nuggets have the best fans in the world and they have truly shown me some love. I have also really appreciated the heartfelt support from my family, teammates and the Denver Nuggets organization. |
I'm feeling good, keeping my spirits up and looking forward to wearing a Nuggets uniform again. |
