We stayed mentally tough the whole game. That was the best feeling.

That's gonna be fun, ... I love the tension. I love when everything's going wrong ... In the NBA, they don't promote guys like me. They like guys who like Cheerios, good guys. But I find a way to promote myself.

Young guys need to be reminded of what it takes to be a good defensive player. I just try to help out and tell guys what other guys told me when I came in the league.

There were a lot of times we could have broken down. But we didn't. We stayed together throughout this whole game.

After missing 73 games, the team really stuck in there. The good thing about it is, we are not 100 percent, but we really wanted to win this game and we did.

They should just give it to me. Guys are having 40 (point games), and they play against me and don't get nothing. I'm playing some good D.
adjusted defensive fine good great last nba player playing slide style year
I think when I got Defensive Player of the Year I was playing great defense. Last year when they implemented those new rules, I was still playing very good defense. I just have to get adjusted to the NBA style of play. It will be fine because I can still slide my feet.
learned somebody stands street throws
I think any person on the street would have done the same thing, ... I just learned that if somebody from the stands throws something at you, don't do anything back or you'll get suspended.
