The money was one of the factors he looked at but in the end the most important thing was the opportunity to win a championship and to have a significant role in that. When it came down to those factors, the Spurs were the best fit.
I can't stay in L.A. too long or it starts to grow on me in a bad way.
He appeals to corporate America because he does have a clean-cut image. He has no tattoos. At the same time, the way he plays, he does appeal to the hip-hop generation.
He played like I saw him play in the summer league and the fall league. He was just relaxing and letting the game come to him.
He really stepped up. That was one of his better games. All of these guys who came off the bench really helped us.
He really stepped up. He's had two really good practices this week, and so has Jake (Griffin) and Billy (Canada). When the practice that hard, you like to see them carry that over into the game.
He's in the process of narrowing it down and focusing on what teams he'd like to go to. He's most interested in going to a situation where he has a chance to win a championship.
He brought us back in the fourth. We were trying to get him the ball (toward the end of the game) but we just couldn't.
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.
All the teams he was considering are great organizations with an opportunity to win a championship, which is very important at this stage in his career. With San Antonio, he felt he could come in and play a key role in trying to defend their championship.
