When people look at me, they really don't understand where the hops are coming from.
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.
It was a great day. I pretty much let the game come to me. I was just trying to get everybody involved. We just waited on the bench for our numbers to be called. Today was a great day to showcase our talent.
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 was definitely humbling. It was a learning experience.
It's hard -- they shouldnt have even made that,
It seemed like they could look at each other and not call a play and know exactly what play they're running. They are so poised.
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.
We're like family. We enjoy each other's company off the court. And it doesn't feel crowded on the court. You just have to find who's hot at the right time.
They say sharing is caring, and we care about each other. There's just a lot of good karma going around.
This is something I dream about. Hopefully, kids go out there and one day want to be like me. Hopefully I can just go out there and just send a message to some of these kids that, even though you're small, you can mean so much more to yourself and your friends and family and to people all across the world.
Coach just said, 'Get a hand up,' and I was right there. I just stayed in front and backed him up, and he took a desperation three. But he made a good shot.
