A jump shot can get you a shoe deal, a big house, a supermodel, fancy cars, a bunch of yes men, a Swiss bank account. But none of these things can get you a jump shot
I'm not perfect. But I am trying every day to concentrate on being better.
Practice? I mean, listen, we're talking about practice. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We're talking about practice. Not a game. Not the game. Not the game. We're talkin about practice, man. We're talkin about practice. We're taklin about practice, man. What are we talkin about? Practice. We're talkin about practice, man.
I don't want to be another Jordan, Magic, or Isiah. When my career is over, I want to be able to look in the mirror and say 'I did it my way'.
We understand that we're going to get the ball into Tim and play off him.
We don't have an identity as far as how we play on the defensive end. We might play well one night and on another night we won't play well. We always score the ball and average 100 points, so obviously our problem is in other areas. Until we take care of those problems, we're going to continue to struggle.

We didn't do enough offensively to get it done, and we don't usually say that.
We're not eliminated till we're eliminated. I just feel good about not being eliminated. We get to live another day.
Yeah, I came down wrong. But we've got a game tomorrow and we've got to come to play.
This would have been a bad one to lose, man, because we did put our effort on defense. We did play one of the best defensive games that we played.
We are playing with a lot of confidence right now and we believe in each other more than ever. We are looking forward to trying to get in the playoffs and make something happen.
When we rebound the ball, we're able to do that. We don't want to come down and play a half-court game all the time.
Man, I'm 31 years old and a husband with four kids; I hope I'm no thug. I hear all those negative things and don't hear anything positive. I think that's all those people feel... that way that's all they hear about when you hear Allen Iverson did something negative or something.
