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 don't listen to that. I listen to the big guy, that's who I play for.
It's great. It's bigger than the sport because we're looked up to by so many young people out there. It's great.
It's definitely the best scoring game I've ever had.
It's crazy, it's crazy man. That's way out in left field.
It's cool to be a part of history having two great coaches go head-to-head.
It was kind of tough to find my rhythm, get back in the flow. I had to take a lot of bail-out shots.
Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
It was much harder to watch as opposed to playing in the game. I was kind of going back and forth.
It was a good month. We were able to win more ballgames than we lost. We built ourselves a pretty good cushion going into the following one. Hopefully next month will be just as productive for us.
I've got to do what I've got to do. I don't really care whether it's 50 shots, 60 shots or five shots. I've got to do what I have to do to help us win.
You want to come out here and play good basketball. The fans here know their basketball and want to see good basketball.
