I've never had (a) beef with World. Personally, we were teammates. We understood that. I understood that. As the primary (option) on this team, I felt it was my responsibility to have the ball come through me, and I consolidated and distributed to everybody. I don't know if World was bothered by that.
We're two totally different people from two totally different parts of the earth. I think people are wanting it to be more than what it really was. It wasn't like we hated each other. We spoke every day, said what's up, had conversations, cracked jokes, just like any other teammate in here. Basketball-wise, came in, did what we had to do to get a win. Sometimes we didn't get it. We're both competitive.
We both hate losing. I'm pretty sure he would like some more help.
Athleticism is always a good thing. And we have a lot of it, so it helps in both offensive and defensive situations.
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 should have had a little more control than that.
The zone tonight was a big problem. The zone slowed us down and made us stagnant and not as aggressive.
Even though we've been losing and going through hard times, we've kept our morale up.
The third quarter has been our Achilles heel pretty much the whole year.
I've never been opposed to a reunion. I've always let him know that I'm going to be in Minnesota, and he's always let me know he's going to be in New York. So I guess we've got a problem. Different parts of the world, dealing with the map is probably the issue at this point.
I've never been a part of something like this before, so I didn't know what to expect. I was not here for anything else but the people. This weekend was the most memorable weekend I have ever had.
I've always said I'll be in Minnesota as long as they want me. I don't think I can take another one of these rebuilding stages.
Everybody, including the coaches, keep looking forward to the playoffs, the playoffs. But we need to focus on one game at a time instead of looking down the road.
Everybody from A to Z has to be ready to play, and sometimes that's not the case. It's a little more difficult on the road, dealing with the crowd and different elements, but that's no excuse.
