Steve set the tone for them and everyone else just followed.

How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?!

Just inconsistent. But the positive part of it all is that the season's not over. (We've) still got a chance to get into the playoffs and start a new season. For us to tank it now would be crazy. (We're) definitely not going to give up. We've got a long way to go.

I think that as far as talent, we have enough to get over the hump. We are just not doing it. You can?t coach it, you can?t preach it. It is just something that players must be willing to do.

I never seen a rookie get that many calls going to the basket. He kind of reminded myself of me when I was a rookie, just going in there and being able to get calls and all the veterans saying they never seen a rookie get calls like that.

We stopped doing the things that got us the lead, both offensively and defensively. You can feel it. You're not getting easy shots anymore.

I am used to us losing a couple of games and everybody pointing a finger at me.

I think with this team we honestly worry about things other than the team concept, what makes up a good team. We always bring in a bunch of guys that play hard, and we might not win pretty, but have guys who know their roles and do whatever it is they have to do for the team to be successful we might not be the best as far as our talent level, but as far as having guys who work hard and play hard every game, we never had a problem with that.

A jump shot can get you a shoe deal, a big house, a supermodel, fancy cars, a bunch of yes men, a Swiss bank account. But none of these things can get you a jump shot.

I think he had a great camp. I think it's the first year John's playing relaxed and you can tell by what he's doing out there on the basketball court.

I don't want to be another Jordan, Magic, or Isiah. When my career is over, I want to be able to look in the mirror and say 'I did it my way'.

I just wasn't picked. I'm not bitter. I'm not mad. It just means I'll get to spend more time with my wife and kids over the next three summers. I still hope they bring back the gold. I'm just honored to have played before.

It's going to be hard. But I think that when we are in tough environments, it helps us focus more and it helps us concentrate. We're looking forward to it. We are playing with a lot of confidence right now and we believe in each other more than ever.

It was a great feeling, man. My first time being here, people embracing me the way they were. It's something I'm going to cherish ... It kind of made me more nervous, just wanting to give them a good show.

I know we got guys in here who can get it done, because it happens on some nights. But it doesn't happen in others. This has to start with me, because I am our top offensive player. If I can send the message about playing defense, then I'm pretty sure everyone else will follow.
Allen Iverson

I?m just trying to do a little more talking to the guys and assuring them I am with them regardless, mistakes or no mistakes. I feel like it is important to let your teammates know that they can make mistakes, because you are definitely gonna make them. We feel like we can make mistakes and live with them if they are aggressive mistakes. I just talk to my squad as much as I can and just try to be there for them because that is what they do for me.

The first appearance is always going to be the most memorable. This one is special because I'm 30 years old and you hear all the negative things about your game declining and at this point you should be breaking down. I still go out and play hard every night and give it my all. I guess the fans recognize that because they put me in the All-Star game.

Everything that I do, everything that I say is magnified. I didn't think it was going to get out of hand like this.

This is like a tribute to them, the people who helped me to get here. The thing that makes me feel good about the whole thing is, the fans voted me here.

I kind of was frustrated with myself in the sense that I was missing easy shots.

Obviously, it's bad if I couldn't return. I'll just get the MRI and see what it really is... I had problems walking, so I knew I couldn't do any running. I couldn't go. It's real swollen and sore.

God blessed me with another opportunity. If that didn't work, I'd probably be in (the interview room) now, losing a lot of money.

We can score on anybody. But we have to focus on defense. They were just outworking us. Everybody has to step up, period, for us to be a better team.

The whole paper is like a book, Tales From the Dark Side or something.
