(King) changed the world. He sacrificed his life. Being in Memphis, that's huge. We played on that day. Just taking the tour of the hotel and everything, I don't think most of us (black players in the NBA) would be here if it wasn't for him sacrificing. |
A little different. Just trying to get my energy together. I've been fighting the flu for a while. I got to get some medicine. I just tried to stay physically strong and not run out of gas. |
At first they told me I'd be out the rest of the season. |
He's hungry. If he misses a shot, he'll follow up his shot two, three times until he scores. As a coach, you can draw up any scheme you want, but you can't stop a player who is driven. He's hitting the boards like a power forward. |
Hopefully, we won't let anyone down. (The previous meeting) was one of the best games I've ever played in. One of the best games I've ever seen. |
I didn't ask too many questions. Whatever (West) told me to do, I just did it. It's benefiting me right now. This summer, I knew it would be good. |
I didn't play the point in Denver. It was a different type of game. It was a challenge for me. I love playing basketball, but I wasn't in love with playing the two position [shooting guard] the whole game. I'm way more comfortable because I'm playing my natural position. |
I didn't really spend enough time there to get attached to any one thing or anyone. So for me, it's another game, another trip. |
I don't even expect to lose by 30. When you get down like that, it has to become personal. At least it does for me. |
I don't think I'm really going to be here. Whatever happens, you hope it happens quickly, so that way you can get it going and not have to worry about what's going to happen tomorrow, so you can move on, so there can be some closure. |
I heard him call (bank). |
I thought we did a good job. We have come in here and helped the team and elevating the team to a more athletic team and a quicker team in transition. We want to be competitive and I think we are. |
I walked back down the court. I had my hands up. I knew it was good. You could just tell in that type of situation that the shot was going in. |
I wouldn't want to come to work with handprints all over my cheeks. |
I'll play no matter what, but at the same time, I need a peace of mind of what's really wrong. This is serious. |
