complacent far good guys sitting trying
The thing that I like so far is that guys care. Nobody's sitting and being complacent with what's going on. I think everybody's fighting, trying to make it better. So that's a good sign.
good left people stand worry
They have a right to feel how they feel. Even if I would have left on a good note, there is still going to be people who don't like you, who don't like what you stand for. I can't worry about that.
bit dressed embrace fight good guys hopefully impose reaction realize start
I think anything you impose on players, the first reaction is going to be, 'Nah, I don't want to do that,' ... We fight a little bit about change. But in the end, when it all settles, and you start to realize why, and guys will come in and they'll feel good about how they're dressed and things like that, hopefully they'll start to embrace it.
ball fault felt good kobe move reached
Heck, Kobe was one move from going around me. It does me no good to see that. I felt it was my fault because he reached around and stole the ball from me.
anybody earth
I'm not apologizing to anybody for anything, There's no way on earth I would apologize.
anybody continued fact needs says sitting son
I'm not apologizing to anybody for anything. If anything, he needs to take a look at himself. The fact he continued to say things ... after he was told my son was sitting there says a lot about him.
anybody wife
I'm not apologizing to anybody for anything. I don't think that my wife did anything wrong, I don't think that I did anything wrong.
challenges cut guys hope mentally physically stay talk together work
I hope those guys can keep it together mentally and physically and get through any challenges they have. I don't really want to talk about anything specific, but I think they have their work cut out for them. Hopefully, the can stay professional and get through it.
advice continue grow guy hard hurting longer playing stay time tyson wants work
It's time for him to grow up. If you know Tyson like I know Tyson, he's hurting because he's not out there playing well. He really wants to win. The only advice I have for him is to continue being the guy I know he is: come in and work hard every day and stay longer if you have or come earlier.
issue
this is not an issue in my household.
games last nba played tough
If these are the last 34 games of my NBA career, I want them played as tough as I can.
effort hopefully lead next rub time trying
Right now, I'm just trying to lead by example. If I can go out there and show effort each and every time up and down the floor, defensively, offensively, hopefully it will rub off on the next guy.
anybody hand president protect rules took tough understand
It's a tough situation, you know? On the one hand, as president of the (players') union, I understand the rules better than anybody and why that rule is in place. But on the other hand - which I think is the part of me that took over - as a man, you have to protect your family.
love
It's not that bad. I'm still doing something I love to do.
