I average 25 with three guys on me and they are just looking at stats I guess.
I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me. And the one guy who didn't vote for me, thank you, too.
This is a tough game. There are times when you've got to play hurt, when you've got to block out the pain.
If you got the game, you got the game. That's why Tiger Woods is out there playing golf with Greg Norman.
Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit.
I made a 1,600 minus 800 minus 200 on the SAT, so I'm very intelligent when I speak.
I know that this is sport first and business second, and people have to do what's right for them.
We just need to develop some type of consistency.
It was very frustrating. However, I knew when I saw (official) Bob Delaney out there it would be trouble. You just can't make the mistakes that we did and win in this building.
My comments were made out of frustration in the heat of the moment. But I realize that my choice of words was inappropriate and again, I would like to apologize.
I think he's the true definition of a great player and you guys should recognize that. I think the recognition of a great player has been lost the last 10, 15 years.
We have a new leader, and we just have to go out and get the job done.
I would say Detroit, Indiana, Cleveland, Jersey, darn near every good, solid team in the East. The Lakers, I think it's more of a TV-rating rivalry than a real rivalry. If we could both make it to the Finals a couple of years in a row, then it could be a real rivalry.
I got into foul trouble early and never got into the flow of the game. The foul trouble is very frustrating, and I knew when I saw (referee) Bob Delaney I was going to be in trouble anyway. We did still have chances to win the game; we just made mistakes you can't make in this building.
