I made a promise to him that in '06 I would come back (to the gym) at night. I've got to keep that promise. |
I saw a double (team) coming and I just tried to beat it. I just had to go fast. |
I saw the double team coming, I tried to beat it and go faster. |
I take this as motivation. It's nothing to be upset about. I can't take away and nobody else can take away what I've done this season. |
I talk to Julius every day. He's just got to be patient. George is going to get on him a lot, but it's for the best. He only wants him to get better. I try to talk to him and tell him to fight through it. |
I think I brought it on myself. I guaranteed a gold medal (before the Olympics). I'm not doing that this time. |
I think I'm starting to get into a rhythm a little more. I'm focusing more. |
I think in certain situations last year and the year before last I would have tried to take that shot with three people on me. But I've seen even if I don't shoot the ball to win the game, I can win the game by passing it out of a double team. |
I think it was a little bit unfair for me because I didn't know what was going on. For (Brown) to come out and say what he said, he could have at least come to me first. |
I think last night they saw how hard it was for me out there making everything and doing everything and them not coming through. But (Saturday) I think we spread the wealth. |
I think we just came together seeing we were down. We couldn't lose our first game after the (All-Star) break so we had to focus in and we did a good job of that. |
I told him that we needed each other for this team to be good. I need him, he needs me. We got to make it work. If it don't work between us, it's not going to work on the court. Ever since then, it started clicking. |
I took that as motivation. Anything that happens, I'll take it as motivation. |
I want to win the game. I don't worry about taking over the game unless I have to. |
I wanted to play. (But) it's nothing I can be upset about. |
