What it's about for us is playing 48 minutes. Whether they got tired or not, I don't know. But we wanted to keep the pressure on them and keep pushing it back at them.
When he gets into a rhythm like that where he starts going, it's like you want to sit there and watch him play. You get caught up in what he does and that's probably the worst thing that we can do is just sit there and watch him play, but you get mesmerized by what he's doing.
The problem they have is convincing advertisers it's a viable medium. I think that's a big hurdle.
I've never gotten too high or too low. It only messes you up.
I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that, so really, I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.
Our motto is just to play the whole 48 minutes. We are here to play it from start to finish. Things will go up and down. We will make runs and they will make runs. But we just keep playing.
When our assists lead to baskets, that's us playing our best, and we begin knocking down shots.
We are unselfish and we trust each other
I have the loving support of my girlfriend who still attends Wake Forest and is nearing graduation. She helps me cope with the everyday rigors of being an NBA player.
I don't usually set personal goals.
They say I have no emotions, but I'm excited even if you can't see it.
I'm just going to play whatever game is in front of me.
