everybody felt front gave good people
It felt good to play in front of people again. They gave everybody good receptions, so I was happy.
became college feels good high school
It feels like high school again. I had a really good team, and I was a much better leader. When I got in college and the NBA, I became selfish. Now, I'm back to my high school days.
good indiana memories
I think I did a lot of good things in Indiana also that's probably been overshadowed. I think those will be in my memories more than the other stuff.
basketball both ends felt finish floor games good last playing
We just have to see what we did back then, and see what we're doing now. We're going to have to finish the last games off strong. I felt pretty good out there. Right now we're not playing both ends of the floor each game, only sometimes.
enjoy good
It was a good win, you've got to enjoy the wins. But we can play better.
came deserved games good hard tough win worked
It was good to get a win. All the games are tough right now. We came here to get a win. We worked hard and deserved to win tonight.
basketball fun gonna good guys love promote wrong
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.
families good hopefully lost
You really feel for those families that lost everything. Hopefully we'll put on a good show for everyone at the game.
came defensive good guys help reminded takes
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.
game good missing stuck team win
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.
against good guys playing
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.
caliber everybody figured goal good playoffs saw team traded walk win
I saw the team that I was traded to and I just figured we were good enough to get in the playoffs. I still feel we have a championship caliber team. We're in the playoffs and now our goal is to win the whole thing. Everybody on this team is committed. We're going to walk the walk.
basketball emotional focus good playing reported upset
I think it's good for the Pacers (that I'm leaving). I think they will be able to focus on playing basketball. I can focus on playing basketball myself and be very happy. I'm upset that I won't be with Donnie Walsh anymore. It was an emotional meeting, but it wasn't like what was reported on TV. We had a good conversation.
