I observed the way Dee and Deron played at the Nike Camp [in Indianapolis]. They share the ball well; I mean, they average about 13 points apiece and they could both score 20 -- they do what they have to do to help the team.

It was just weird. Once you get the ball and you get in a situation, it's like haywire, everything goes crazy, and everybody's running around. You don't know who to pass it to or what to do. So Coach said just slow down and just make the right play. I tried to get the best look I could at the basket.

I am pleased with the way we played. The back three, with the way they worked off the ball, were tremendous.

I ran track for my school. I played football, but I didn't play for my high school; I played for a little league team.

I just didn't like the way he played ball the last two years at Tulane. You are what you are. He's a great player, and he'll be a great player once he plays total team ball and sells out for the team and not for himself.

If I could, I would have my son on tour the whole time. But he has school, summer camp, and he has to see his mother.
