I don't think I can play in the National Games. My contract (with the Rockets) d oesn't allow me though I really want to play (in the Games).
Everybody knows he's a super scorer, ... Also, he's a great passer. He had some turnovers tonight, but in a few games, those turnovers will turn into assists.
I have Mr. Alexander's trust and the chance to play in Houston,
Maybe it's the best thing for me and when I come back I'll be stronger.
Physically, I may still be needing a little bit. I think I may need a suit of armor.
I think we'll have a good year. Right now, Tracy and me have one year of experience. We know how to play together.
I think before we (left) Houston that this trip would maybe be a turning point for out team. We are like a new team. It started that first night, when we played Sacramento. We had some trouble in that game (falling behind by 14) but did not give up.
Today is barbecue my feet. It's pretty warm here. It's soft (turf), but it's heat. But we're from Texas.
Her talent and poise is what's very compelling for companies. Her ethnicity is icing on the cake.
We still need to look forward. The way Miami will miss Shaq (O'Neal), they'll still need to play. Well, the league is not waiting for us or for Tracy to come back. We've got to hang in there. We can do better than that.
Usually I like going to the paint because I could get close shots, or physical contact and get a foul. Today, they didn't call it so I was afraid to go inside.
We?re all basketball players, and were all out there on the court, ... We all live together on this earth.
I'm getting fat... because my size, I put on 20 or 30 pounds, it doesn't show very much... I'm thinking about going back to work out in a very short time.
When I was young, we were taught not to dunk. We were taught not to stand out from the rest of the team. It's different now.
