I think they understand how much I care about this team. You have to know what you can do and what you can't do. And what I can do is defend and rebound. When they see me running after a rebound or something like that, they (young guys) know what this game is all about. |
I think what we've been doing is trying not to lose instead of going out and trying to win, ... I think what we did was say: 'Forget it, we're going to go win this game. We're going to go impose our will on them and force them to turn the ball over.' |

I witnessed my wife being threatened by a man that I learned later to be intoxicated. |
I witnessed my wife being threatened by a man that I learned later to be intoxicated. I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn't react. There was no time to call security. It happened too quickly. |

If I see somebody swinging and grabbing at my wife, that's no time to point to anybody. |
If these are the last 34 games of my NBA career, I want them played as tough as I can. |
If Vince Carter decides to leave the Toronto Raptors, this is an entirely different team. But I'm sure the Raptors wouldn't let Vince leave without getting something in return. |
It's a tough situation, you know? On the one hand, as president of the (players') union, I understand the rules better than anybody and why that rule is in place. But on the other hand - which I think is the part of me that took over - as a man, you have to protect your family. |
It's fool's gold if you are winning games and are not playing the right way. |
