It’s just great to be out here, … I was just thankful to be living my dream of playing in the NBA.

I’m just happy to be a part of the weekend. To be an All-Star is something very special, and that will take a couple years. It might not happen next year, it might happen the...

When we have lapses defensively, then we start throwing rocks at the rim. It all goes downhill at once. We don’t get stops and they score and we come down and shoot up rocks. That’s...

[The Hawks] are dying to get me at No. 2. I’ve spoken to them a couple of times this week, and they’re loving it. They’re rolling around on the floor laughing about [the rumor] because...

You have to be smart the way you play him; he shoots the ball so well. You have to go in there and play with energy, try to take him out of his game. But...

He’s doing OK. The first day, it was a little suspect, but it’s OK.

I grew up watching him play on the Bulls. Between him and Michael Jordan I would’ve rather seen Toni score 30 points in a game.

I didn’t have my best game. I have a lot of room for improvement. It was a decent effort. Not too bad. It was a lot of new adjustments to make. I didn’t play my...

We put ourselves in a position to make a move and then it collapses. It’s never ending.

I don’t care about numbers, man, I just want to win basketball games, … I just want to get Milwaukee back in the playoffs, and if we do that I’ll be happy.

I’d set good screens, get him open, and that’s how I would get open. We’d be tough. Hopefully, they take me. I’d be an asset for them.

We have the toughest team in the league. But we’ve got the mind-set we can win.

It was good for a laugh back then, I guess,

Milwaukee is different from what I’m used to. It’s cold and it’s much more of an old town, a traditional city. When I first got here, compared to the cities I’m used to, Milwaukee was...

We had our backs against the wall. We showed great character. If we hadn’t worked so hard in practice we would have lost that one by 30,

We just need to know what it feels like to win a playoff game. Even if we don’t win this series, as a young team to build for next year it’s just good to get...

That’s the NBA life for you. You’ve got no excuses not to be ready – get the smell off your body, ice on your knees and get back into it.

There’s a lot of Bucks jerseys being ordered online and a lot of people asking for jerseys, … There will be expectations on me as the No. 1 pick, from the media around the world,...

Underdog isn’t even the word to describe us. I don’t know what we are. I mean, we’re under-under-under-underdogs.

There is always room for improvement in every area.

The only way to beat Phoenix is hope to get them on a bad day and hope they miss shots.

That’s what we spoke about in the locker room, character in an NBA game. It’s more crucial to play hard in the last minute than the first 39. Anything can happen in the final minute...

We get down by 15 and we come back, but we exert so much energy and then we get down again. It’s never-ending. It’s been like that all season.

Basketball is a global game, just like soccer is a global game. You see the Manu Ginobilis and Yao Mings of the world. We can play the game in every country.

Once he was gone, the guys didn’t really flow in their offence as much. There was a lot of pressure on Parker and (Robert) Horry and those guys, and that really helped us.

We tried to make him shoot the jumper in the first half and we brought help on him (in the second half). He started to find teammates, and that’s the sign of a great player....

I just want to try to ignore the scrutiny and all the distractions and just play hard basketball and let the best come, … Improving game by game and trying to improve my game is...

We’ve got to win. These are our rivals, New Jersey, Chicago and Philly.

I think I have a lot of room for improvement. I just got to keep striving to work hard everyday and I think good things will happen. As long as we get the win it...

There’s no way we’re going to lose Game 3 and come back and win this thing. There’s not going to be any fairy tales. We need to get Game 3.

I remember when I was a kid having the Friday night games or the Saturday night games – a South East Melbourne versus Melbourne . . . they were huge, sold out, you couldn’t get...

It’ll be fun, but it’s more of a fan thing. To me, winning games and getting to the playoffs is the big thing.

They wanted to get out of here, which was good for us.

not as slow as Luc Longley. I can shoot better, I’m more competitive. So I think it’s not even fair to bring that name up.

It’s frustrating. We don’t play Phoenix many times, so it’s kind of hard to adjust to their style of play.

That’s not my goal, to win rookie of the year. I don’t care about that stuff. Individual goals. Usually, the rookie of the year doesn’t make it to the playoffs. I’d rather make it to...

It’s part of the game. But it’s frustrating because I was saying the same thing that Detroit was saying but I said it and I get T-ed up. And then the possession they say it...

I’m definitely going to be coming into sport. It will be in Australia. Basketball will hopefully be the priority,

Definitely not. I don’t like how it looks, but I don’t play basketball for looks.

I’d rather have this win and not score much. Personal accolades at this time of the year don’t really matter.

I found my form late,

It’s kind of hard to adjust to their style of play. We tried to throw some different looks at them, but at the end of the day, it wasn’t really up to us. It was...

We didn’t want him to go off for 50, but he shot the ball so well coming out that it’s was kind of hard to stop him. Other guys didn’t get involved in the second...

Some guys want to be the best, and that’s how they show it. Me? I think being the best means winning games.

To be an owner of a team is something I dream of doing once I retire. Maybe even a soccer team and a basketball team. I can’t see myself away from basketball if I retire...

We win this game, everything changes. That’s the story of our season. We make things very hard on ourselves.

It’s much better. Much better. Now we have to do that against the good teams.

A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games,

It’s very special for me to come and see them play.

I’m just trying to play hard. I’m just proving a point to myself that I can play in this league.
