It was kind of funny because he is the ugliest cheerleader I have seen. We are definitely missing Pops on the floor. We are just going to try to keep winning so he can come back and play another one.

He's the ugliest cheerleader I've ever seen.

I think the fact that Pops wasn't out there was really our rallying point because Pops is such a valuable part of this team mentally, physically and emotionally.

It never stops. He brings everybody up. When guys are down, he is the first one to put a smile on your face. When you are around him, you always have to keep an eye on him to see what he will do next. He is just so funny. He's a comedian. If basketball doesn't work out, he might have something in comedy.

If I ever need something, if I'm ever in a desperate situation, I've got to call this guy [pointing to Elliott] right here. He's money.

We can't control who the area loves. We only control what goes on between those white lines.
