He really is something, ... He not only has met all those incredible expectations, he has blown them out of the water. He has built the expectations for the next generation.
For some reason, it put me at peace. We don't know where we're going to be next. And who's to say that the next place we go is greater or lesser than where we are (now). But we're just happy with the current state and not knowing the unknown. For me, it did a lot psychologically.
I knew I wanted to do something, ... But I didn't know in detail what I wanted to do.
I'm from the South, though, and I know how hard the South is, ... A lot of things that go on up North, there's a lot more opportunity. In the South, there's not as much opportunity and I know it's going to be a dramatic and drastic transition to turn that city around.
I'm out there sweating and working hard. Continuing to work and compete is one of the most difficult things when you really don't have anything to play for other than your dignity.
I don't need to meet with him. I'm not going to make this no pressing issue. I spoke with him one time. That's that.
I by no means meant to hit any fans. I didn't even look where I tossed it. I apologized both to the girl and the father.
I can't stand these afternoon games, to tell you the truth, but I know that they're a part of our schedule. When I come in here, I just know I have to get going early and try to get the blood flowing a little bit.
I don't want to call it babysitting. I don't like always having to go there. We're professionals, and we're all men. It was just a select few (joking around after the game) but it is a team. I don't like to have to be responsible for the unknown, making sure guys are ready and then having to worry about my own personal ? that's not what I'm here for. I won't play that role.
I don't want to go through this any more. I think I'm more deserving of a better team and I think the city's more deserving of a better team, coming in here having something that's going to be competitive and having us getting back to the Western Conference finals. But I do know you just can't blink and it's going to happen; you have to actually spend the time and effort. So, we'll see.
I never would have imagined it being on this kind of scale,
I just knew the play all the way, ... I got it up with some extra loft on it. It was an easy shot.
I just kind of go with the flow around here.
If you have the opportunity to do something you love, pursue it. . . I've never been against education, but at the same time you can't knock opportunity.
