Unbelievable. I told him to keep shooting and don't hesitate. When he shoots with confidence, he's a great shooter.
We had a great team this year. A lot of people talked about us being good next year, but we thought we could make a run deep in the tournament this year, so it's tough to take.
We told our kids that anything's possible. I'd be lying to you if I looked you in the eye and said we were going to come out here and beat Purdue. That's a great basketball team we just played.
I'm not surprised. Charlie has been this great of a basketball player since we were in high school. He can dribble the ball up the court, pass, shoot -- everything.
It's been unbelievable. To see how great we were playing and see how we've now sort of bottomed out. We've got to find some energy from somewhere to pick it up.
It's a great time just to get away for a little while and give my shoulder and my ribs time to heal.
When you find yourself down 21 after one half, that's a pretty big hill to come back from. However, I felt our kids battled all the way to the end and never gave in. The score ends up a little closer than it should have been, but that's a credit to our kids not giving up.
We're young. We like to run. J.R. and those guys, they want to dunk and I want to see 'em dunk. So it works out great.
I don't care what anybody says, there's nothing like the cultural influence of hip-hop. For me, hip-hop culture is involved in everything - it's in me, in who I am, in how I dress, how I talk. It's in my son and my wife.
I realize that I'm not going to be doing interviews for the cover of 'GQ' for the rest of my life, know what I mean? I'm on TV because I play basketball really well.
Most of the time, if you ask a kid who's their best friend, it's usually a classmate or their neighbor or something, but for me, it was my granddad. Everybody knew him - they called him Mr. Jones.
I love people. I hate to be by myself.
From day one, since I was traded to the Clippers, the team has been amazing to not only me, but to my family.
I'm a little brother. I've always been small. People have said I have a Napoleon complex. But I've always had to fight for everything that I have.
