I put a lot more different things in my arsenal.

You have to mature every year, both mentally and on the basketball court. Hopefully, this is the time it happens to me.

That was a tough shot. I was right there in his face.

The engine is going to start and the locomotive is going to get moving one day.

I’m in a position where I have to accept the role that’s given to me now. Hopefully it changes in the future, but for now, I’m just happy to accept the role, whether it’s starting...

We desperately needed a win, and for me, it was great. After a week of not playing, shooting by myself with some of my people who help me play basketball, it was good to get...

In the NBA, the life that we live is great. All situations are a test for you to overcome. (Coming off the bench) is something that I’m going to have to overcome if that’s what...

It’s healthy in a democracy to have several candidates in a primary. We’re promoting democracy abroad, and we should be practicing it here.

I think a lot of the players don’t realize that you only have one basketball career and it doesn’t last as long as you think. The money might be there, but actually being out there...

[With four years of college behind him, Nelson is a rarity among NBA players. He could have jumped from St. Joseph’s after his junior year but opted for a final season that Magic teammates say...

Last year we didn’t really have the whole coaching thing down,

This should have been a game where everybody was hungry to win. It was at home. We had a streak going. Not just for the streak, but for us — to show that we’ve matured,...

That was the play we called; I just missed the shot. It was a play we tried to get going to the basket, but they had like two or three guys loaded up over there...

He was calling me all summer, making sure I was working on my shooting, … It was funny having my rookie telling me that. But I tried to put a lot of things into my...

It sounded a lot like me when I didn’t want to go to Vancouver. Really, I had never heard of (Vazquez) before. I didn’t know who he was.

I can’t really comment on it except to say we’re just not producing at home. I know pretty much a lot of people are going to put as at the bottom of the list as...

I just didn’t get in a groove early and it was hard to pick it up. I thought I’d come in and score 70. It looked like everyone was lethargic. I put our guys in...

I really didn’t know too much about what was going on in the beginning. Now, as I got accustomed to it, hopefully we can continue to build.

It felt good to play. I don’t like to sit at home. I don’t anticipate anything of this sort will happen again. It is behind me. We’ll just continue to move forward.

The most important thing tonight was that we won. I’m just going to stick with the role that they have me doing right now, which is getting everybody involved. It’s more important to win regardless...

I just think when you have guys who’ve played … things will work themselves out. We’re not looking to try to compete against each other. I think we can help each other because we pretty...

Besides my mother passing away when I was 18, this is in the top three (worst times of his life,). It’s like a funeral, that’s what it feels like.

I went to watch Dwight play at the summer league in Las Vegas, … Last season, he wanted the ball. This season, you can tell he really wants the ball. He’s going to emerge.

Wrong place, wrong time,

Guys turned the ball over, and that kind of took us out of it. We had point-blank shots that we missed that we normally make.

The play was actually called for me coming closer to the basket but they had three or four guys covering it.

I swear to goodness. Patience is something I’ve learned the last month,

I don’t know. I guess I could have hit him. But it’s about bragging rights. And right now, he has the rights I wanted.

Sometimes you just try to do things too perfect and that throws your game off and throws your timing off.

It’s not going to make or break our season.

Everybody asks (what’s going on). I’ve been here probably two or three weeks, so I can’t really comment on the situation.

Hopefully next year, it’ll change. Maybe this summer we’ll begin to evaluate more as far as what my role is. I don’t plan on coming off the bench next year. That’s where I’m at.

It is something that is in the past to me. As far as my teammates and coaches, I have dealt with them to a point where we know that it is something that definitely won’t...

We’ll have opportunities to push the ball, and other times when we’ll have to set up. What we need to do is try to win some games and try to gain confidence.

As far as the future, I can’t speculate on things like that. I’m looking forward to being one of the pieces here. That’s one of the reasons why they brought me here, to be one...
