averaged bigger everybody five guard guy points says
Everybody says we don't have no superstars. No, we've got five superstars. If we wanted to have a guy averaged 30 points a game, we could do that. But we want bigger things. We want a championship and we know one guy can't guard five.

It was weird. I really felt a sense of relief when I stepped on that floor. It gave me a chance to forget about everything that was going on off the court. I hadn't smiled all day until I got on that court.
