Throughout my journey in basketball, I always have someone to talk to in my father. I know how hard he had to work as an athlete.
We're back to step one no respect. We're just going to grind it out like we did at the beginning of the season.
We're coming back next year to do it again.
We'll talk about all that. It's something I'll definitely have to discuss with my family, and not just my family but my coaches and the people that I love and the people who want the best for me.
I don't know if that's what will be talked about, but that's what should be talked about. I think (Moss) is what this team stands for. Everybody sacrificed to get to this point, and I don't think anybody sacrificed more than Adrian Moss, being a starter as a junior and playing a limited role on the court (as a senior) but still being our leader.
I love Puerto Rico. I'm from everywhere. I represent for everybody.
I learned a lot from my father. I'm very lucky to have a father who was a professional athlete.
I love you. Let's do it in football now.
I love him to death. He's the man over there. His girlfriend is like 30 years old; he goes to the clubs. I remember last time, I just couldn't hold up to him. He's a chief over there.
After the game we will probably talk, but right now he's the enemy. I'm not really worried about showing him any love right now.
Art is interesting because there can be so many different perspectives in a piece of art. The way I see it may be completely different than the way somebody else sees it. It's interesting to hear what somebody sees in a piece of art compared to somebody else. It could be completely different, and that's interesting to me.
I remember skipping school a few times to go watch the Big East tournament (at Madison Square Garden).
Cinderella story or not - to me, honestly, I don't care. Does being (a Cinderella team) help you win basketball games at all? I don't know.
Being from New York, everybody's a point guard. Even when you play in the park, you've got to know how to handle the ball. If you can't handle the ball, you can't really play.
