I don't know if it was the days off or whatever, but we just weren't in rhythm. You can probably blame it on the thong Shaq had. It kind of traumatized everybody in the locker room. But we'll be all right. We'll bounce back the next game.
I didn't even know the record existed until a couple of days ago. I never, in my wildest dreams, dreamed of being in such great company like Elgin. There have been a lot of great players in this franchise and I have learned a lot from some of them.
I didn't shoot well for three-fourths of the game. I've had some games like that where I don't start off well, but I know if I stay within the game and keep shooting I can get hot at the end.
I didn't quite get the look I wanted. I'm not even sure if I got it off in time.
I didn't know that kid had that big of (a heart). I think it was good.
I can't take credit for what's happening out there. I learned it all by watching tapes of Elgin, Oscar Robertson and all the great players. I stole everything and incorporated it into my game.
I couldn't even dream of this when I was a kid. There was no way possible.
He thinks defense first, he's committed to playing defense for all 48 minutes.
I am very frustrated. We shouldn't have lost this game. We are not coming out ready to play.
I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to beKobe Bryant
He's my man here. Every time I'm in Houston he comes out and checks out the game and I hook him up with stuff.
I don't miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn't that serious in the first place.
I just want to be recognized as a great player. That's what we all want. It's about getting the W's (wins) and nothing else. I can't let what people think or say about me bother me.
In the second half they looked to stop everybody else, and I got going. I picked up the momentum and was able to break the game open.
