He's going to go through a lot of theatrics. But you don't want to tip your hand too soon. We'll all be looking at the play clock. ... So when he starts doing all of that stuff with 19 or 20 seconds to go, you've just got to be patient. |
He's got incredible pride. He gets great satisfaction from playing well, not from an ego standpoint, but from the pride level. He takes great pride in performing well. He has great disappointment when he doesn't play well. It hurts him. |
He's got the perfect makeup for it. People don't understand how much different it is from starting. You go out there with one pitch. And if you get beat with it, you're expected to come back the next night and do it with the same pitch. |
He's missed so much time, he's having a hard time understanding his role. Understanding the level of competition and game situations, he going through that right now. He needs to work hard to get back to where he was before he got hurt. |
He's moved around, he's in a lot of different positions. They're really working it to him, getting him in some mismatch situations, throwing some crossing routes underneath, trying to isolate him on linebackers and situations like that. |
He's one of the best small forwards ever. You could argue he's the best, although I'll bet you James Worthy would probably have a good argument about that. But he's an all-around player. And I consider myself to be an all-around player. |
He's probably had more fun the last three or four or five years than he did the first couple of years I knew him. Mark's awesome. He's one of the best in the garage, and if you can get him the right stuff, he's going to be hard to beat. |
He's probably the hottest hitter in baseball right now. And we didn't make some good pitches to him. When you elevate balls in the middle of the plate to him, he's not going to miss them. Certainly not when he's on one of those streaks. |
He's raw, but he's been in the big arena. I don't know if I've ever been around a guy who's been more diligent. This kid really worked hard to go from being a long shot to being a contender. And he does have a big leg - he can smack it. |
He's really struggling to command the baseball right now. He's struggling to command his fastball and his breaking ball. It's just a little mechanical issue that we'll continue to work on. But he got a little better as the game went on. |
He's rebounded in NBA games. He's had 15 rebounds on a 10-day last year with Portland [and] he had seven rebounds with Philly earlier this season. He's shown the ability to rebound at this level, so he's somebody worth taking a look at. |
He's some horse. When we spoke at the start, it was clear nobody wanted to go on and I was wary about it turning into a sprint. He must be the best I've ridden. There are no holes in him. You can ride him how you like and on any ground. |
He's such a creative guy. He draws so much attention that I just try to find the open ice. We were a little fortunate that their D got tangled up, but that happened because he made a move to go between them and slipped the puck through. |
He's such a gentle person, very patient, and he can give information to kids and beginners in a way that they understand. He has good recall of details. You know, like the third toe is always purple on the left foot, that kind of stuff. |
He's the man right now in mixed doubles and also in doubles. Just next to him, it gives you so much satisfaction and security that you have to put the serve and returns in and he does the rest. You have someone to carry you all the way. |
