It was a little crazy for the first couple of days, ... I couldn't really talk. I checked in, and in 20 minutes, I was at the dentist. I had to tell the guys, 'My tooth is messed up -- I'll talk to you in a few days.' I got it pulled, and now it's back to normal.
The sky is the limit for Dina. She has tremendous potential and ability and soaks everything in we tell her. You can see she loves track.
I have charisma and a lot of energy and I hope that the crowd can see that. All I can do is hope so (that the crowd will get behind me). If not, then I will have to steal the crowd away from someone else. If that happens, that is what I am going to have to do.
I'd like to say thanks to Spud for helping me out because I think that put me over the hump.
I am going to go at him (Iverson). I am going to make him play defense. That is what I tried to do tonight.
I apologized to him like 100 times already. I definitely took full responsibility of what I did. Hopefully it's minor because I would hate for me to be the one to hurt his career or anything like that.
It seems like a letdown to us because we come out and work so hard, and things aren't going our way or according to plan. It's just something we have to fight through, come in every day knowing we have to win a lot of games to make a playoff run. I believe we can do it.
It's a good thing, now he's back and he's healthy.
It's a great honor to be in my shoes right now.
It was definitely humbling. It was a learning experience.
You try to do everything right for him, and it's like it ain't good enough.
That's the hardest thing because the fans love it. They love to see the way I get fired up. ... I think that Coach kind of gets tied in, or caught between me trying to showboat or trying to have all the attention on me I guess.
They say sharing is caring, and we care about each other. There's just a lot of good karma going around.
I have talked to him about his whole preparation about when he was going into the Slam Dunk Contest. He just said he practiced a couple of days before the event and then every day leading up to it and that is what I did. I have been practicing for two weeks just to get my routine down. I am just going to go in there and not shy away from it.
