I ask daily. I'm asking questions every workout, every set. Is everything on schedule? Is everything where it's supposed to be?

The questions I ask I am not really supposed to ask. But I would rather be fined for asking too much rather than too little and then have something happen to someone's child.

It started out a little stiff, which is normal, but it felt great out there getting up and down and jumping and shooting as though I was never injured. I'll tell you what: I really believe I'm coming back more explosive because of the correctional exercises the trainers have me doing and just the way I go about working out.

I'm ready to go. I'm really trying to win a championship this year. That's what I'm striving for. There are a lot of new guys and there have been some huge changes, but I think it's all for the best to help this team become a champion.

as far as understanding the game of baskedball, opening up and just wor{yng on different skills on the offensive end and being more focused on defense.

We have guys that can score and still put up the same amount of points we put up last year, and also defend a lot better,
