(Indiana) got switched up a little bit, then Terence (Dials) found me under the basket. I told him, 'I've been giving you assists for five years,' so it's about time he gave me one. |
A lot of it is the way they play. They?re so damn physical, it really forces the referees to make tough decisions. The crowd is in their ear, Alford?s in their ear, and they?re human. |
He came in and showed that he deserves to be here. He paved the way for us. |
He gave me the beads and I shoved them in my sock. I had them there the whole game. Now I'll have to take him out for a steak dinner or something. |
He was the player of the game in my mind today. |
I don't know what I was thinking - my mind was pretty much blank, hoping that I'd make the shot. But when I let that one go, I felt pretty good about it. |
I found myself feeling bad for those guys, guys who have had such great careers, then they go and lose on Senior Day. |
I should be bouncing off the walls on Sunday, my legs are so fresh. I hope we don't have these refs; I'll get five fouls. |
I wish I could sugarcoat it, but the back was hurting a lot. I?m a pretty humble person, but I?m proud of myself that I could stay out there. To be completely honest, I was probably 70 to 75 percent tonight. It was hurting literally the entire time. |
I've been giving him assists for five years; he owed me one. |
I've been giving him assists here for five years. It's about time he gave me one. |
The first one was probably a foul, I had my arms around him. The second one I stuck my hands straight up and he jumped into me. |
They (the officials) had it out for me. They didn't want me in the game for some reason. |
They say the older you get, the more you become like your parents. It's scary. I'm becoming just like him. I've got a little bit more hair. |
They were so long, so athletic, and so strong inside. Everything we tried, we just couldn't do it. |
