I am thrilled to be an Olympian, and I think that although we will be underdogs we can beat many teams and will be a surprise in Sydney.
I don't think coaches should have to wear mic's. It is an invasion of privacy. We are trying to accomplish things, and wearing microphones may hinder development by straining the nature of relationships coaches and players have.
I think it's important that people stand up for what they believe in. It's important that people discuss things.
My closest friends in the league are Dirk Nowitzki and Rex Chapman. Although I think Michael Finley and I will be friends forever.
I think you can get too focused on the championship and forget how rewarding it is to be part of a team.
When I think of my career, I can't help but think of the kid with his ball, falling in love.
They will definitely enjoy it, no doubt about it, especially those who have never been. It will be great from a personal standpoint, but it will also benefit the group. Coach will also be able to help us, too, and pass on his experiences from the time he spent in Italy. So all in all, it will be great, the players will be able to absorb the culture and it will bring them together.
If my career has somehow inspired or gained interest in kids across the country, that would be unbelievable to have that sort of impact.
I'm very excited about that, ... He's a great player, a great teammate and a great guy.
We got a lot of great character guys and some great players that bring a lot of experience and toughness, ... Those things go a long way. If you're going to lose Joe Johnson, you can only make so much happen. We did about as well as we could do, minus the Finley deal. We're ready to make it work. I'm really excited. I'm happy with the moves we made.
Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!
It would be nice if we were up 3-2. But, at least we can go to LA and let it all hang out.
They were great to me. I appreciate that.
They were great to me, and I appreciate that, ... Hopefully, the Wildcat fans can stick behind us.
