Every time Coach talks to me he says listen to the message, not how it's said. It's kinda hard to really listen to exactly what he says instead of taking it personally, trying to do everything right for him and it's not good enough. At the same time you can't look at it that way. You've got to look at it like he's trying to help you.
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.
I just knew if I get it up high enough I would have a good chance of making it, ... So I just shot it hard and let it go.
It's a good thing, now he's back and he's healthy.
They say sharing is caring, and we care about each other. There's just a lot of good karma going around.
You try to do everything right for him, and it's like it ain't good enough.
When people look at me, they really don't understand where the hops are coming from.
Even though it was a negative thing that happened, I wasn't feeling too bad, 'cause a positive thing came out of it, ... I don't fault Miami for anything; I'm just here at Rutgers, at home, where I'm happy.
We had to get in touch with him, so we did and he was like, 'Yeah, sure.
We waited our turn and showed Coach and the world what we can do. We can go out and play hard and have fun.
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.
