We had to come out and get back on track. We knew they were going to be tough, no matter who they had. We had to come out and play it all the way to...

I’m not one of those fakers who is going to scream and flop and play all those little mind games trying to get a call, I’m just going to go and get my basket, …...

At Golden State, we were losing, and you could hear them. ‘We’ve got 16 more hours and 56 minutes, 32 seconds, 31 seconds [until the All-Star break.]’ No, no. We’ve got goals. That’s only for...

It’s not about the money. I want to be in their advertising, have a commercial, be in a print campaign. I’ll even pay for the commercial to be made.

It’s a big game. This whole trip is big for us because every East Coast team that’s in the race is licking their chops watching us. We need to go out and play hard. If...

It went in and came out. You’re going to miss more than you make in your career. I missed that one, but I’m going to have more opportunities to make them. … I thought it...

[Eastern Conference coaches] know how I feel about them right now. I told them after the All-Star break, ‘Eastern Conference, I’m coming for you.’ I just hope y’all have a good game plan I’m an...

[Lewis’ All-Star bonanza got us wondering if Arenas had a similar clause in his contract. After all, he too was a former second-round pick. But unlike Lewis, Arenas signed a contract with the Wizards in...

Everyone wants to play against the world champs and see where they stand as a team, … We get a glimpse of them early to see where we stand as a basketball club. We’re not...

He didn’t do anything,

We played well tonight. We just didn’t pull it off. But we’re not really concerned about what we’re doing on the road right now.

We’re getting banged up at the worst time.

You think you’re funny until you meet somebody like Tom Tolbert.

He did good, but we teased him in the second half when he got barbecued.

It’s a blessing. It’s an honor to be an All- Star and I’m really happy that Commissioner (David Stern) has chosen me. I’m excited and honored to be picked among the best players in the...

A lot of them told me that they had seen me on TV and that it was nice to see a familiar face. If that makes somebody feel good, then here I am. You can’t...

When you look around the league, you don’t see them getting blown out. They just play hard. They hang right there and they lose in the end because they don’t have the talent that everyone...

This is where you make your name. People follow what you did during the regular season, but what you do in the playoffs, it’s all magnified. The TV cameras are on you. The critics are...

Coach mentioned it to us but we knew this wasn’t going to be a blowout.

We turned it on at the right time. We played solid defense all the way through, and in the fourth quarter we gave that extra effort and got the win.

It was a loophole, and I slipped through it, didn’t I? (The new provision) sucks. We get screwed in the draft and go in the second round, and if we develop our game within the...

I’m not disappointed [to not be picked by fans or coaches]. I’m just happy I made it. It’s an honor.

If they terminate me, I won’t have a problem with that. I’ll pay them the money they owe me and the money they just gave me. Just let me out clean, don’t hold anything against...

We played stupid all night long.

I’m going to have more opportunities to make them and be on the other side of this. It was there, just a little off. It wasn’t our day.

I wasn’t even in attack mode. I was just trying to come off the pick-and-roll. If there was a mismatch, I was just trying to get to the rim or into the 15-foot area where...

That chip was falling off from the 2001 draft and now another chip goes on. You’ve just got to go out there and play. You can’t let something like this hurt you. You know, 2001,...

That’s the coach’s decision. I’m not the coach. I’m not the GM. . . . If that’s his excuse for missing practices – to blame me – then I’m strong enough to take the responsibility.

It’s up to Coach. Most likely I’ll start.

They are not going to need me to score. They are going to need me to push the ball, use my speed and get after it. They have so many players who can score.

It’s in a lot of pain. It’s throbbing right now. I can’t bend over. But you go through the season, you’re going to get injured. You’re going to play with pain. I’ve played with pain...

I get buckets, … I get buckets. He knows that.

It hurts. No one wants to lose a game where you fought so hard, especially with a charging call at the end.

It’s an honor. Thank you, David Stern.

We fought hard. It came down to another night with a call at the end of the game that broke our back. At the end, we went to a zone and Gary hit that three....

It’s a great feeling to start off a road trip like that.

It didn’t seem possible, but they’ve found a way to improve. They have so much more freedom with the ball, and they still make it tough on teams with their defense.

We’re going to beat them.

What happens when you try to shoot and the ball goes up in the air? It’s a foul. But we still got the ball to a great shooter. I thought it was going in. We...

He’s my rival because we both came in the same year, but it’s like we’re together because we got picked 28 and 31, so it’s great when you consider what we’ve done for this league...

Somebody’s going to have to pay for me missing the initial. And that’s almost every Eastern Conference team out there.

We took daggers early, but we knew if we stayed with it, we would come back. We just kept going at them, kept fighting, and believed in each other.

Teams like that you have to be careful of because they’ve got nothing to play for.

Coach said, ‘Throw away the plays. ‘Throw away the plays?’ All right. That’s like playing outside.

My swag was phenomenal.

We’re going to beat them once. That’s all it takes – is one time. We’re just going to keep fighting and fighting and fighting until we get ’em. That’s all we can do.

In this league, it’s about growing up. That’s one of the areas I’ve got to grow up in. . . . Everyone knows I can score. Everyone knows I can do all these great things,...

I didn’t want to leave the Golden State fans, because when I wasn’t playing, they chanted me in. [But] the NBA is a business and you see it all the time where a team, if...

We’re just shooting ourselves in the foot right now and we have to correct it. It’s about time we start sewing up all our bad habits in the last 26 games.

It’s just like last year. We’ve been down this road before with our backs against the wall, and we’ve fought through it. We’re in a predicament where we’ve actually got to fight now. We can’t...
