The feeling on the bench was that we were gonna tie it up.

I was right on him, but he got the shot off.

I've never seen him better.

I could tell right then he was very, very focused. When he's on, he can win a game for you.

Anyone who worked with Michael knows what a great room-jarring laugh he had. He was your best audience for anything remotely funny.

He got around to everyone during the week and that's when he told me anyway and he went around to everyone individually and spoke to everyone.
