No question, my game is like A.I.'s, and I'm just a taller version of him. I respect him for what he does on the court every night, and he is somebody I looked up to when I was in college and high school.
No question at all. They're exactly the same.
After the Boston game is when he turned into that Shaq mode.
Every time we play them, it's a rough game.
Every time we got it close, they just seemed to make the play. That is what good teams are supposed to do at home.
There's no question you have to try to keep the ball in front of you as much as possible without getting fouls. The perimeter (defenders) have got to do a little better job on that now that we don't have the luxury of letting them go down to Alonzo.
The one thing I love about my signature performance shoe is that it's great on the court, but it also looks good with a pair of jeans.
Once you wear something you're comfortable with and you play well, you're going to do it again. I needed a different look personally. Then once I wore it, I liked it. Now I've got Shaq wearing it.
I decided to do that both games, to come out passive. In this series I can't come out and attack, attack, attack, attack. One of their things is to try and wear me down. It's all about pacing yourself. Knowing the right times, right situation to take over.
I decided to wing it. That's the kind of player I am, just come out and wing it, so it worked again.
I approached the game differently by coming out and focusing on getting my teammates the ball. That is something I want to continue to do. I want to open things up and get my teammates the ball. Then I can start looking for my offense.
I feel alright. I thought I did pretty good. It was tough on me getting my legs loose, but once I did I felt alright. Once I knew I was able to at least run and jump, then I would be out there helping my team. By the third quarter I started to feel it was getting loose. I didn't have my athletic ability tonight, but I was able to make plays that I had to make. I did what I had to do.
I feel all right. I thought I did pretty good. It was tough on me getting my legs loose, but once I did I felt all right.... I didn't have my athletic ability tonight, but I was able to make the plays that I had to make. I did what I had to do.
A little shot in the butt. It started kicking in after a couple minutes out there and I felt good after that.
