I know I'm a good person. I do my job. I know I'm a professional, and if I do the right things, people will respect me. No matter where it is, as long as I'm playing basketball, as long as I'm in the NBA, that's all that matters.
I have to feel that nobody can stop me scoring, that nobody can keep me off the boards. Every person should feel that way. First of all, it gives me confidence, and when things get down, I still have that mental state that I missed shots, but he didn't stop me.
I haven't won on my birthday since college, so it's good to play hard and get a win by double figures.
I really just don?t go into the gym thinking about my status or my stature. That is one of those things that you might say you want, but once it happens ? you can?t stand it.
I'll be honest with you, it feels really good to come back from a tough situation, a sluggish first half and still capitalize down the stretch. We have been losing a lot of fights down the stretch.
He started taking all the shots and we stood looking at him like we didn't know what to do. We have to know who we're playing. That's unacceptable.
Honestly, it's bothersome. But we have a game (tonight) and a chance to prove to ourselves that we can play harder.
He's a Raptor now, no matter what happened in the past, he's a Raptor now. He's here to help us win and I don't think people should forget that.
I'm not sure. I can be strong in my support (for the current staff) but at the end of the day it's all the GM's decision.
I just appreciate the battle that we had. I was trying to stop him, he was trying to stop me, and all in all it was just a great competition.
I'm nervous. I just hope they call my name. I don't talk much about it. I just wait.
I'm really happy, but I'm not satisfied. Even though I try to play to my maximum potential, I feel I can always do better. There's always mistakes to be made. I learn from my mistakes. I just want to keep going and get better every day.
I'm sure that's what they're trying to do, they're trying to do something. All I can do is hope and pray and give my little two cents to the guys upstairs and they're going to make their decision.
