It feels good to get the show on the road. Coming back to win the way we did showed a lot of character.

I'm just having a great time. I don't have to look over my shoulder after every missed shot.

We hung in there and hit some shots. I got some looks and started knocking them down.

What they're doing here (at Charlotte) is totally different than what we're doing. We're in first place. We're looking to try to win a championship.

It was to the point that I was feeling good already, so it didn't matter. You guys have seen it before.

Bernie called me to his office and told me they were making a trade for Kareem. At that point, I didn't want to sit on the bench for an expansion team. It ended up working out.
