Over there, Kevin McHale, I feel like I'm talking to someone I know. It's just a total different atmosphere.
They got all the size over there, and the teams are really good, so, I think night after night you're just going to have to be ready to lace them up and be ready to play. The teams out there are really good.
I need to put bread on the table man
Fortunately for me I was able to do well here, and it really did great things for my career and now hopefully I can go out there and continue to do what I did.
Well I forgot how different it was because I've been here for about four or five years. It's a big load off my shoulders now. Now that I'm there, I'm like, man, I can breathe a little bit, you know?
I'm 33 years old now. I really want that ring. I got a taste of it here.
I think was able to do a lot of things here.
I think that was one thing I definitely brought to the table, my aggressiveness and my style of play, and I think that's one of the reasons why the fans here really appreciated the way that I went out and played, just because I think they kind of liked that.
I think it was one of the better meetings that I've had with those guys, because I was honestly able to say everything I wanted to say, and I pretty much aired out the dirty laundry. So from that point on, I thought all of that was behind us.
I just meant as far as coming to the games on time; it was just like I was under the microscope, every little thing, it was like they were looking for me to come in here with my shoes untied.
I have a family to feed.
I definitely think that myself and Sam will help the Timberwolves.
People say I'm America's worst nightmare. I say I'm the American dream.
I'm just happy to be a part of the Timberwolves organization. From top to bottom, facility and the management now, like I said, Kevin McHale is great.
