Watching him play and watching him talk about the seasons that they had is motivating. I grew up watching it, so to hear the inside scoop of the championships they won and watching him play is a motivation.
We had a long talk (Monday) about a lot of different things. I know for this team to go to the next level I have to make plays for others.
At halftime, he was really talking about going out and doing it. He came in and showed us the way and everybody else just followed him and kind of got what energy he brought.
I've talked to him a couple of times. It has always been short, but it's always been good things. He always told me to keep playing the way I play and to continue to carry myself the way I carry myself. I heard through the grapevine that one of the players in the NBA he likes to watch is me. That's a great thing.
Immediately after games, we're talking about what we need to do for the next game. We're not satisfied in the moment that we're in.
Yeah, at first people were talking about me. But now everyone is wearing their clothes more fitted.
I'm young. The only thing I told them in the meeting is I would talk to my family and get a feel for being away from my family three years.
We're going to miss Eddie a lot, the defense he brought and the way he chased guys around the court. I want to see who's going to do that.
We have to go up there and try to get the first one.
We're still looking. We hope it will come. If it doesn't come soon, we'll have an early vacation.
We've got it now, you know? We've got what we need to do to win.
We've got enough firepower to win without him. If one person goes down, the other guys have to step up.
We know we're a couple of shots and defensive plays away from being a great team.
We know we can win. That's what we're all here for. . . . This is my third year here and it's like it's my third different team, but we can win.
