couple falling game opportunity thank truly
Everything is just falling into place. I do feel great. I feel good, thank God. I'm very, very appreciative of this opportunity that I have. And I play the game like I'm appreciative, because I truly am. I know a couple years ago, I didn't think I was going to be able to do this again.

Always treasure the opportunity. He's got another opportunity to play again when he's 28, 29. Enjoy it. Enjoy it while you can.
given intense playing reflect situations sure time
I'm sure these two years have given him some time to reflect and think differently. But at the same time, I know we'll get into some intense situations on the court. And if we're not playing up to our potential, we're going to see the old Riles.
coming early healthy injuring risk step sure worth
I'm going to make sure that I'm healthy before I come back. It's important for me to be right before I step back on the court, especially going into the post-season. I don't want to risk coming back too early and injuring it again. It wouldn't be worth it.

I'll carry the torch until it needs to be passed. Hopefully, God willing, I plan on finishing my career here, if it be this year or maybe next year.

It's a matter of when my leg is ready. We're talking about 16 games we've got to win (en route to the NBA championship), and I want to make the right decision. As we progress, I want to be 100 percent instead of 75 percent or 65 percent.

It's devastating to lose anybody in your family. But I don't know a man who's not close with his mom.

The record pretty much tells it all. We have to improve to get where we want to be. There's no science to it.

Every day that it continues to progress, I'm able to see improvement.

I've been around him 10 years with him. You never ever know what he's going to so you can expect anything.
collecting expect nine wins
I've been around for nine or 10 years with him. You never ever know what he's going to do, so you can expect anything. Hey, as long as we're collecting wins when he's doing it, that's all that counts.
feeling series wait
The series isn't over. I've just got to wait and see. I've got to keep progressing. As long as I keep progressing, I'll keep feeling positive.
basketball competition life-is
I am reaching a point in my life where the basketball chapter in my life is slowly closing from a competition standpoint.
growing-up kids years
I want to live 50 more years. I'm 33 years old... and I want to live to at least be 80 and see my kids grow up and see my grandkids. That's important to me.
