atmosphere black deserve fans great hills playoffs time waited year
That's a long time ago, the Black Hills days. I know the atmosphere is going to be great this year in the playoffs because these fans have waited a long time. They deserve some excitement.
rather
If you're going to boo, then boo. Don't be fair-weather fans. I'd rather not be applauded anymore.
critics good happen
Hopefully, the critics will get off (James') back now. It was good for it to happen now going into the playoffs.
capable carries kid people points prepared scoring team though year
He's an inspiration on and off the floor, the way he carries himself. He's been a professional all year long. He's been (criticized), even though he's scoring 30-some points a night, people are still not satisfied. Because of it, he's prepared his team for the playoffs. I want to see what the kid is capable of.
game knew
Game, set, match, I knew it was over.
both enjoyed great hope
I hope they appreciated me. We both enjoyed each other. They were great fans.
actual check hope nervous perceive reason worried
I never thought I'd get booed here. Anything is possible. I hope not. You never know how they perceive the reason why I left. I'm not even nervous about the actual game. When I check into the game, I'm worried about their reaction.
guard guards saying
All I was saying was to guard Randolph like he guards you. And from then on he was on another planet.
accolades guy guys majority marquee nature overlooked press special wrong
The marquee guy is going to get the majority of the accolades and the majority of the press coverage. Because of it, some guys get overlooked for some special things that they do, but that's the nature of athletics. If you're in it for the publicity, you're in it for the wrong reason.
aggressive court driver full hit pick
You can't take him (James) on full court because he's an aggressive driver and you can't sag off him because then he'll hit his jumper. You have to pick your poison.
along blamed games good last passing struggles team teams
He blamed the struggles of this team on me. He told me that I know better because I've been there before and I've been on good teams and I should be passing along the way we approached games last year.
