father figure guys hardly help life talk
Most guys who went through what (Davis) went through hardly live to talk about it. He didn't have a father figure in his life at that time, so my father was that man, to help him out and get him on his feet.
ball foul hands shoot shot surprised threw throw
I was surprised because he pump-faked more than I thought he would. When I had my hands up, he threw the ball out a lot more than I thought he would. He'd get a shot and he'd go up, and I'd put my hand up. I wouldn't foul him, and he'd throw the ball out to his teammates. I thought he was going to shoot a lot more than he did.
asked dad enjoyed family felt great home kids left taking talked youngest
My dad always talked to me and asked me how I felt about him taking in kids off the street. I was the youngest in our family and the only one left at home at that time, so I enjoyed the company. Plus, Glen is such a great friend. We always enjoyed being together.
behind coach dad door dorm hate imagine kept mail passed percent room stay strong
My dad said his coach was behind him 100 percent and kept encouraging him. My dad would get hate mail slipped under his dorm room door and there would be graffiti on his door. Through all that, he was able to stay strong and he's passed that down to me. I really can't imagine what it would be like to go through something like that.
felt
I felt like it was a very long time.
feels forget great helped house instead living people state trailer watch
We've helped the state a lot. When people watch our games, they forget they're living in a trailer instead of their house in New Orleans. It feels great to know we're making people happy.
forget helped house houston instead living people satisfying state trailer watch
We've helped the state a lot. When people watch our games, they forget for a while they're living in a trailer in Shreveport or Houston instead of their house in New Orleans. We are making people feel happy, at least for a moment, and nothing is more satisfying than that.
colors everywhere missed people telling wearing wish
It was amazing. People everywhere would see us wearing our colors and come up telling us how much they missed home. Everyone wanted to talk, to wish us well.
known since
I've known Tyrus since we were about 4 years old.
felt houses imagine news underwater watch water
We would watch the news and see how much water there was. I can't imagine how they must have felt to see their houses going underwater like that.
foul letting physical
The referees were letting us play. So we were being physical with him without getting in foul trouble.
easy
They got a lot of easy baskets and we didn't get any easy baskets. That was pretty much the story of the night.
shot time
They had enough time for a shot on us.

He's definitely the toughest I've ever had to defend. I got six hours sleep (thinking about it Wednesday night).
