Antonio Daniels Quotations

Some nights it's scoring, some nights it's not. Some nights it's defending. If everybody falls in and plays their role to the best of their abilities, we don't worry about who gets credit and we're a hard team to beat.

We talked about staying loose. We were missing 30 points and nearly six assists. That's a big part of who we are and what we do. But we had to pull together and that's exactly what we did. You know when (Sacramento) heard Gilbert wasn't playing, they were extremely pleased.

What I'll do is come in here and try and show the guys who haven't been there what it takes to get there. Getting to practice on time, practicing hard night-in, night out. Little things, like making the bus on time. This team is ready to make some noise. They're right on the verge.

His sense of humor, it really wears on you. He keeps the locker room extremely loose.

Man, I'm willing to do anything that will help. I haven't been through something like this my whole career.

That's a big chunk of who we are and what we do, but everybody else filled in the gaps. It was almost like they were extremely pleased to hear that Gilbert was out, but we believed in ourselves.

It took me getting to San Antonio, where I played with Avery Johnson, Mario Elie, Steve Kerr, Sean Elliot, David Robinson, Terry Porter, all those veterans who had been there before, for me to really learn how to play, ... Now, one of my roles on this team is to come out here and show some of these young guys not only vocally but by how I play, what is needed and what is wanted out of you as a player.

I'm not here to average 30 points a game, ... That's not who I am, that's not what I'm about. I was brought here to make plays at every opportunity.
