I saw him lying there in tears and I just felt for him. He has no reason to cry. He's a great player and he's going to have a great career.
I saw him laying there in tears. I felt for him a little bit. He has no reason to cry. He should definitely keep his head up. That's easy to say when you won the game and your opponent lost. But I just really wanted to see him still in a good mood.
Our heart and everything we do on the floor is always a tribute to him, whether he's healthy or not.
It does feel good, at least for a half. But the thing was, at halftime, I really wasn't worried about me scoring. I had two points, but I'm maturing in a sense I'm not going to force shots like I did the past weekend. That's part of being a team player. I don't want to be passive, but I'm not going to go out hunting shots anymore.
That's the only team that's really beaten us this year.
Jordan is one of our top scorers. When he's in double digits, this team is going to be that much better.
He's just so sharp. He's aware of everything, it's like he's whatever age. He just knows so much, and he's done so much for this school, you just want to listen.
I was running around celebrating with the rest of my team. But I saw him laying there in tears a little bit. I just felt for him. He's a great player. There's really no reason for him - outside the fact that he's a competitor and wanted to win - that he has to cry. He's a great player and he's going to have a great (NBA) career. He should definitely keep his head up.
I felt for him. He has no reason to cry. He's a great player who played a great game.
He doesn't play like a baby on the court.
He does all the little things -- taking charges and defending guys. He's very good and he improved throughout the year. You can just see it in his confidence and swagger on the floor. He knows what makes him a good player.
He mentioned it a lot to us. He gave us a lot of examples.
He was here to do the same thing I wished to do -- help restore the tradition of winning ways.
Obviously it was desperation time, down nine with three minutes to go. You've got to bring it all out.
