We win this game, everything changes. That's the story of our season. We make things very hard on ourselves.
There is always room for improvement in every area.
To be honest it is going to be hard for him. Teams are going to sit on him and make him pass the ball. Teams know they cannot allow Michael to score 30 or 40 because it keeps us in games. So they are going to make him pass the ball. At the same time we need more from other players.
There's no way we're going to lose Game 3 and come back and win this thing. There's not going to be any fairy tales. We need to get Game 3.
I've never had a buzzer-beating game-winner, but to do it in the NBA against the world champions is a great feeling. The guy I've always looked up to is Tim Duncan . So, to do this against his team is a great feeling for me.
It would be nice to own a team in Melbourne, seeing I'm from here, but whether it's Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns, it doesn't matter. I think they're all good markets.
That's what we spoke about in the locker room, character in an NBA game. It's more crucial to play hard in the last minute than the first 39. Anything can happen in the final minute of an NBA game.
Definitely not. I don't like how it looks, but I don't play basketball for looks.
That's not my goal, to win rookie of the year. I don't care about that stuff. Individual goals. Usually, the rookie of the year doesn't make it to the playoffs. I'd rather make it to the playoffs.
I guess if you're a normal person and all of a sudden you're getting $10 million a year, it can go to your head.
I grew up watching him play on the Bulls. Between him and Michael Jordan I would've rather seen Toni score 30 points in a game.
I don't care about numbers, man, I just want to win basketball games, ... I just want to get Milwaukee back in the playoffs, and if we do that I'll be happy.
Basketball is a global game, just like soccer is a global game. You see the Manu Ginobilis and Yao Mings of the world. We can play the game in every country.
Some American guys talk and try to intimidate you. Basketball is basketball. You put the ball in the hole, and you're going to win the game. You've just got to keep playing your game.
