It's almost kind of scary. One day there is a city and the next day it's gone underwater. ... That lets you know that some things are bigger than life. To see water actually kill people, it's like the Twilight Zone.
It's going to be damn near Jesus Christ the next person to come and do the things he's been doing because he's a naturally gifted kid.
It's just good to know that people actually appreciate when you do give, ... I'm not the one for a lot of publicity, I'm not one to put myself out there with what I do, but in this case, I hope that it motivates others to give.

It was the first night we didn't have to say anything to him. I think he had a chip on his shoulder.
I try to keep things in house, but there's a certain tone in here, man, and we're going to keep that. If you can't (abide) by the tone, you won't be here, you won't play. I don't sign nobody's checks and (expletive) like that, but you've got to be prepared and ready to play, man.

The fact that she pays the overhead of her employees and the foundation itself and just goes out and makes dreams come true ... I think it makes it more beneficial, ... It's a good thing.
We're a big question mark. We have no real identity at this point. We show glimpses of being very, very good defensively. ... But I don't think you can stamp us as a defensive team or stamp us as a team with an identity right now.
We both hate losing. I'm pretty sure he would like some more help.
We were a lot more conscious of him. I think, to begin with, we were probably focused on (point guard) Baron Davis more than anybody, because he makes that team go.
