It would be so great if we could find some kind of a sky hook and pick up these gorgeous buildings and put them in Dallas, where they are needed.

He doesn't necessarily have to learn the sky hook. He just has to learn how to be an effective post player. I think I can help him do that.

You kind of have to pick your poison. You didn't want to give up 3s, and you didn't want to let him have easy opportunities. They just made a lot of shots.

I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous.

The sun kept dipping down into the ocean and the lights came on at the harbor, casting sudden shadows on the ground, illuminating the faces that were just a second ago silhouettes. The sky was golden and purple, the ocean a darker shade of violet.

That first jumper I took, that hook shot, it felt kind of good. After that, I had a little jumper in the short corner and I knew I was feeling it, the energy inside me, that I could score down low.
