Game 8 of last year's NBA finals. We thought it would be good, we didn't realize both teams would be leading their conferences.

For four of our six decades, we've played Christmas Day. I remember as a kid going to Madison Square Garden with my dad in the snow on Christmas Day in the '70s. It was exciting. It was special.

I've thought of being a point guard in the NBA. I've thought of a number of things that won't happen. But I never thought of this, ... You look at someone who belongs on television, they tend not to be a twitching. When you're watching, they're solid, like they belong there. ... An animated character can be like me. Look at Jim Lehrer, and look at his hair. There's no way I can compete with that.

I think it's a reasonable thought that if it went beyond the All-Star break that would make it difficult to do something.

For what we can do at this point in the season, I thought they did the best the could. ... I thought they played very well together and obviously there's room to get better. The stuff we're doing in practice was paying off.

The game went almost exactly as I thought it would go.
