It was not as easy of a decision as some expected it to be.
It was like that for the first six months after 'E.T.' was in cinemas. I'd go out and get mobbed. I was a shy kid, and being approached by adults all the time just freaked me out.
It was a great game, but we had to fight back as usual. We had to play them like we played Plano West (on Tuesday) in the fourth quarter, but for the whole game. And that took away from us.
It's a big one. It's a home game and it's against the first-place team. We felt like we should have beaten them last time.
It was a tough call. He definitely wants to win a championship. That isn't to say the teams he didn't pick don't have the potential to win. He felt whatever decision the made it wouldn't be a bad decision.
It was a dogfight all the way through. We made a late run and pulled it out in the end.
The only conclusion one can draw while money was a factor, it wasn't the deciding factor for him. It didn't come down to the team that could pay him the most money.
What he wants more than anything else is to be part of a championship team. It would have been the case with any of the teams. It was a tough decision. They all have an opportunity to win, but he just felt that the Spurs were the best fit for him.
We struggled from the perimeter, we struggled inside we struggled on the boards. We struggled every place tonight.
The contract will make him the highest-paid athlete in the history of Converse. One of the things attractive about the Converse offer was, in addition to the financial aspect, he is going to be the face of this brand.
We shot really well. Usually when we make the shots on the perimeter, that brings them out and we can go inside.
When we raise these rates, people will use less. That's a goal we want to achieve.
Our players have a lot of confidence right now. We've been behind a lot, so they know that if they just play together, we can come back.
There were points in time throughout these negotiations that neither one of us was necessarily confident a deal could get done. I knew the trend. Certainly we've seen some of the shoe companies go to the rap industry to endorse their products.
