We have the toughest team in the league. But we've got the mind-set we can win.
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.
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.
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.
Milwaukee is different from what I'm used to. It's cold and it's much more of an old town, a traditional city. When I first got here, compared to the cities I'm used to, Milwaukee was the complete opposite. It took awhile but I'm adjusted to it now.
There is always room for improvement in every area.
You have to be smart the way you play him; he shoots the ball so well. You have to go in there and play with energy, try to take him out of his game. But it's going to be tough.
We come out soft. Every team that has come in here has probably run the first quarter.
We put ourselves in a position to make a move and then it collapses. It's never ending.
The public's got it right, a lot of NBA stars are arrogant and like to spend lots of money and have lots of girlfriends and all that.
It's not one of those plays you can't really practice. It just worked out.
It's kind of hard to adjust to their style of play. We tried to throw some different looks at them, but at the end of the day, it wasn't really up to us. It was up to their missed shots.
