If Michael Jordan was a damn plumber, he couldn't get a date. Any guy got $500 million looks good.
Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years and they're still poor.
As long as anti-gay legislation exists in any state, I strongly believe big events such as the Final Four and Super Bowl should not be held in those states' cities.
We've won some heat races and had some decent finishes but we haven't been able to get the luck to win a feature,
Some guys don't have to stick around and do all of this. Some guys, when they're done, they're done. And you don't hear from them.
That caught us by surprise because this was the year the construction of the Rockville District Court was supposed to begin.
He just hasn't played well. He can not play well.
When terrible events like this happen, everyone has to pull together and help out, ... That is the area of the country where I grew up and I know that any support those people get will be greatly needed and much appreciated.
I feel bad for the people who were killed, and I feel bad for the people who were injured,

The difference in the playoffs is you're playing against a good team every day. You're not playing one good team, then two bad, then two good ones. The one thing that I learned in my 16 years is that you might take a glimpse of tape before games, but (in the playoffs) you sit down and go over tapes every single day from game to game. . . . That's when you find out who can really play and who can really coach.
I know that I'm never as good or bad as any single performance. I've never believed my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
What I try to do is, I just want the fans to enjoy the game.
