So much youth basketball is being played around the world, in countries everywhere. And the sheer volume of kids means that Winthrop and Monmouth can get some pretty good players. |
Surprisingly enough, as much attention as J-Mac is getting, as soon as he's done with whatever (news) conference he has, he turns to us and tells us to get focused. He's our leader. |
That season was like the perfect storm. Everything came together at just the right time. Michael [Jordan] made sure of that. |
That's surprising that he's not here. You would think he'd be the unofficial host for the weekend. |
The worst game I ever played was in the Final Four, and to be honest, I still think about it 18 years later. It's about the only game I ever think about from my entire career, but it's so fresh in my mind because it was so painful. |
There are similarities in their game. They are both very smooth and it looks like their demeanor on the court is very similar. They appear very mild mannered. Like Sean, you can tell Marcus has a good head on his shoulders. You can tell he's poised. |
They took a gamble, for sure. To this point, I don't think anybody has been too impressed with the results. |
They've won some games but ... they're just beating up on bad teams, basically. It's not often that you all of a sudden see teams start beating good teams in the playoffs when they haven't done it all season. There is little reason to believe Miami can win the whole thing. |
This ranks right up there, ... Right up there at the top with anything that happened with the Bulls. |
Ultimately, being a part of a team means competing, working, living and winning and losing together. And in the end, a teammate's nationality, his language, his taste in music or his religion aren't sources of division, but in fact mediums of greater friendship, understanding and success. |
We also have to provide services to the emergency personnel who are working the search and rescue. It's an amazing operation right now, and no one organization is doing it by itself. We are all pulling together to try and help each other due to the sheer mass of the storm and damage done. |
We couldn't make it in practice. We missed probably 20 straight. I'm thinking, 'This is trouble. We're not going to do very well.' And then he makes the first one. |
We have watched the progress they put those up in a couple of days and they got to watch different people in the community work together and volunteer their time for somebody else. |
We talked about how important (Game 4) was to Cleveland. Now you go back to your hometown with the series tied and you feel the pressure. You feel like you absolutely have to win. They came in here and felt like they had a free shot, and that's the wrong way to approach it. |
With supplies, that is where financial contributions come into play. Supplies have to be constantly replenished. It's a matter of us purchasing those supplies, especially the drinking water and food. The little things are important while the search and rescue is going on. |
