army army-and-navy high spent straight
I went into the U.S. Army straight out of high school. I spent 21 years in the Army before I retired.
cooked huge neat wife
His wife was awesome, cooked us this huge meal. It was such a neat day.
upside
His upside is a joke. He could be really special.
fought game guys handle ourselves position spread win
Our big guys couldn't handle Kaman and Brand. I thought we fought and got ourselves back in position to win the game. But we let them back in the game when we could have put them away. Not for the game, but for the spread at halftime.
coach concerned dying five four game interest level loyal
Our coach was concerned that the interest level was dying down. We had about four or five loyal guys, but you can't play a game with four or five guys.
best far team
If that's the best team in basketball, we're not far away.
basketball behind closed enormous good kid kobe natural phil respect type
He has an enormous ego, which is good because that's why he's (in the NBA). He probably doesn't, behind closed doors, respect Kobe (Bryant) but he's got to respect (coach) Phil (Jackson) so that will kind of keep him in his place. He was the type of kid who had natural basketball instinct. He did things I couldn't teach.
explain somewhere turned
He was somewhere else tonight. I don't how else to explain it. He turned it over, couldn't make a shot.
agree everybody knows league looking stands
I agree with the suspension. I think the thing the league is looking at, which I appreciate, is this one spilled into the stands. Everybody knows if it spills into the stands it's going to get ugly.
anyone damn floor god good hands nice quick remember run strong touch
He can run the floor as well as anyone I can remember for a big man. God just said, 'Here you go, you're 6-10.' His damn hands are like gloves. He's quick and strong and he can jump. And he's got a nice touch around the basket. I think he can become a very, very good low-post player.
brought energy learn positive practice system time totally unfamiliar
He comes into a totally unfamiliar situation, has no practice time to learn the system and does what he did out there tonight. That was great. He brought some very positive energy to our team.
considered jump kid putting
He (Johan) made jump shots, and I thought that kid was ... for someone we considered putting in the D-League, he was pretty good.
bought
Had we known, we wouldn't have bought it. We were very angry.
active bar best player
He is an active (small forward) and a post-up (guard). But he can do so many things. (Sunday) in practice, he was the best player on the court, bar none.
