It was emotional out there with him going at me and I was going right back at him. We did have a little mouth battle going on out there. That little stare, I don't know what that was. I just reacted and it was fun.
They stuck with us the whole game. To me it felt like a little playoff game. It kept going back and forth.
The season isn't over. Maybe a trade, maybe the All-Star break, something will jump-start us. Hopefully, the switch will come on.
Coach is going to have our backs, good or bad, and I think guys appreciate that. It feels good that your coach is sticking up for you, letting them know how you feel. But at the same time, we need to just play the game instead of complaining and whining about the calls.
Coming off a back-to-back tough game against Chicago, fatigue set in at the end of the game and that leads to turnovers.
That's what we need every night out of me and him. He's been more consistent so far of late, as far as blocking shots.
That should come under the state's price-gouging law.
You really can't turn the ball over against anybody, and if you do you'll get burned. It's not just Detroit. It's every game that we play that we have to minimize the turnovers.
We're trying to send a message to teams that when they come into our house they are going to have a tough game ahead of them.
I love wearing suits. I love being suited and booted. When I'm chilling, I also like to look nice.
The biggest thing is always being around people that are going to lift you up and not bring you down. That's why I prayed for God to send me some good friends. He's done that. I don't really have a lot of friends, but the friends I do have are great.
My purpose in life, my goal for the NBA is to preach God's word - not just try to beat everybody over the head with a Bible but just being a good example and always conducting myself in a Christian-like manner.
Growing up, I played about every sport imaginable except soccer and hockey. I've always had a passion for basketball. I remember actually playing basketball when I was two or three years old. The time I knew that I could really take my game to the next level.
I'm really thankful to be alive. If you get to know me, I'm a person that's always smiling and always joyful and I've been that way since I was born because of the struggles I went through. I was supposed to be number eight that died so I'm always thankful.
