Before the game, I was nervous. It was a big atmosphere, the first time I've played in something like that. After my first block, I was feeling real comfortable. |
Hopefully we can remember this experience and build on it. I know I'm going to work hard this summer. I want to be back next year. |
I'm absolutely convinced the defeat of the Soviet Union hockey team by the 1980 Olympic miracle team destroyed the collective psyche of the Soviet nation. To this day, the Soviets cannot believe the Miracle on Ice. Every person I have ever met who meets Bob Suter thanks him for changing history by winning a hockey game. Hell, the Russians haven't been the same since! |
In my mind, the season is far from over. |
That's a part of basketball. You just have to go with it. When you hear people chanting your name and wanting you to do bad, that basically means you're a good player. You have to just tune it out. It's nothing. I listen and I just laugh at it. |
When they told me we were going to be suspended, I was ready to accept whatever they were going to hand us and just move on from there. My mother always stressed to me that you always have to look forward and not back, that it'll get worse before it gets better, but it will get better. We saw that it got better. |
