He is without question one of the toughest human beings I've ever met in my life. He's streetwise and loveable all at the same time. |
He learned at the feet of the master, ... To have someone full-time for basketball issues is a great, great situation. |
He likes playing here. We may move all of our games here. |
He makes you make plays you don?t want to make. He takes teams out of their offense by the ball pressure he puts on you. He?s really, really been a godsend to us in many ways. |
He makes your offense start not at 19 feet, but at 26, where most people won?t shoot the ball. It?s difficult to make post passes from there, it?s difficult to ignite your offense from there. |
He needed to get that proof that his knee was fine. He'll be ready for next week. |
He needs to be because he can be incredible. |
He normally doesn't recognize the fact how good, how long he is. He has the occasional scoops like (Kevin) McHale did. He's kind of added that recently, but you don't see it all the time. |
He plays a great game with great enthusiasm. He's dedicated himself the past year to be a starter this year. He was the difference maker today. He cleaned up the middle by blocking shots and obviously scored a few baskets for us. |
He plays a great game with great enthusiasm. What a wonderful thing. |
He put it in perspective and told me exactly what happened to him. Jim took me through the scenario of what would happen. Jim has been in my life more than I realize. We're the two old-timers in the league, but we're also two friends. |
He responded well after being very leery when he got hit. And I don?t blame him. The scratch was pretty good. |
He said something remarkable to me that I still remember to this day, ... He said, ?The people you?re hanging around now and go out with at night -- and I know you?re doing it out of frustration but nevertheless -- those people don?t want you to leave, because if you leave, you?re being successful and they are struggling with their own agenda and success.? |
He threw a couple of passes off guys' hands. But he also threw passes that no one has thrown all year. We expect that from him because he's such a great passer. |
He threw a couple passes that went off people's hands, but he also threw some passes that we haven't had thrown all year. That's to be expected because he's a great passer. |
