Andre Iguodala Quotations

We made a few adjustments and guys just came in understanding where they should be. We had to turn things around and that was one of the things we had to do, turn around our defense.

Obviously when you have a guy out like Allen Iverson, it takes a lot of pressure off their defense. We're trying to focus on moving up, and trying to focus on our ability, rather than Chicago. We know we're better than eighth place.

Obviously when you have a guy like that who puts the ball in the hole and takes a lot of pressure of you on the offensive end, you're going to have to make it up in different ways and we're just trying to adjust without him and it's tough.

I didn't really know that. Fans really get hold of that type of information when you pass on a guy. Kobe Bryant was the 13th pick, Tracy McGrady was the ninth pick. You never really know until you step on the court, so you really can't fault them.

I came up with that one day during the summer. I was in the gym and this guy told me I couldn't touch one side of the backboard and come to the other side and dunk the ball, and I did it. It came from that, and I'm glad I got a chance to show it to the crowd.

If we lost this one, it's almost a wrap.

He says that a lot, actually, just letting me know, 'You're more of a threat, not just a guy who runs to the basket,' ... That's what I've been wanting to hear since I've been in the league.

When I am comfortable and am out there playing freely and confident like tonight, the sky is the limit.

He was Kobe Bryant tonight. I was pretty sure he wanted to come back at us because we pretty much hurt him when we played last time.

I think I stepped my game up this year from last year, but I feel there's a lot more I can do as well. I'm attacking a little bit more.

I think the crowd embraces me when I come here, which is kind of funny, being on the road. But I felt real comfortable coming into the game.

I was just trying to put on a show.

(Robinson) deserved to win. This is for the crowd. If that's what they wanted, then that's what they got. I'm not too worried about it.

I think lately there has been (movement). I remember last night we had many possessions where everybody touched the ball and guys were getting movement. Especially when Kevin Ollie?s in the game and Michael Bradley?s in the game, we tend to get a whole lot of movement, being we don?t have a scorer like Allen in the game.

That was just an instinct play with the clock going down.

I was real intense. I wanted to be out there and play,

We are trying to focus on moving up and trying to focus on our ability, rather than on Chicago. We know we are better than eighth place.

Tomorrow is going to be a fun day. I've got a couple of things under my sleeve. I want to try something new. Everything I did today, you've seen before. I am going to try some new things tomorrow.

I want to be just like Steph when I grow up.

So after 11 years you're just picking up all this information. I'm a basketball junky, so I watch old players. The '90s was a great era of basketball. I watched so much of that. That just helped me be a student of the game and pick up any moment. It's the 10,000 hour rule. You're just trying to master your craft.

The common denominator is that we have guys who are really hungry to show what they can do.

'Stay with it' was our coach's motto. That's what we did. This is unreal!

LeBron doesn't have any weaknesses, or he doesn't have a glaring weakness. So you've got to pick up on the smaller things to try to make him uncomfortable. Like knowing which side he likes to shoot threes off the dribble, which side he likes to drive. One side he'll drive left more often, and the other side he'll drive right more often.

Not even thinking about anything. My mind is a blank. We just want to enjoy the moment.

I want to dominate a little more, just be a level beyond everyone else. I expect that from myself.

Coach (Maurice) Cheeks talked about it when he first came, that I had to step it up each game, and I think I have stepped my game up this year from last year, but I think there's a lot more I can do as well.

A lot of guys look forward to the spotlight being on them. So guys like myself and Nate Robinson, Charlie Villanueva did a great job there tonight. Dwight Howard is known in this league. Everybody out here is just looking to be known as one of the next players to be great in this league.

A lot of great players have started out with this award, so hopefully the dream can continue.

It's just hard to adjust when you're playing without your leading scorer. You have to do things you're not used to. It's been difficult at times, but we just have to find a way.

That'll be great. I'm definitely looking to beat up on the rookies.

That last loss stuck with us. We just tried to get on track. We talked yesterday and this morning about being a little more aggressive and making those guys work on offense.

I want to dominate a little more, just be a level beyond everyone else, ... I expect that from myself.

It was just a play that got us an extra opportunity to score.

The cameras were actually put on me when Toronto's pick came up so I thought I was going here, but they passed. I think I'm in a good situation right now,

I'm gonna play off the crowd, have fun and just go with it. I'm looking forward to relaxing and enjoying All-Star weekend.

I think Allen and Chris did a good job of just putting the ball in the hole. Allen did a good job of putting the ball in the hole and Chris was tremendous at getting open looks.

Allen and Kyle are doing things on the court as far as scoring. I look forward to doing the little things that are going to change the game. I always tell myself to make a big play and make something happen. When the opportunity presents itself, you try to take advantage of it.

The crowd really embraces me when I come here. It's kind of funny being on the road.

The main focus of All-Star weekend is the fans. Once you step onto that court, you want to put on a good show for them. I got open on a lot of breaks, got some easy dunks and from there, got some outside shots.
