Going from Flip to Kev, obviously you don't want to see someone ever lose their job. For me it's probably a little more difficult, because other than Bill Blair, Flip is all I knew.

Some of my friends snowmobile. I'm a little scared of it.

I have a problem sometimes with being too hyper.

This ain't the Girl Scouts. This ain't the Boy Scouts. This is the NBA.

It's scary when one day the city is there and the next day it's gone. To see the water actual kill people, I couldn't believe it. I never fathomed it could bury a city.

The competition, the naysayers, the owners who talk too much. The people who don't think a 36-year-old can do what I do. I take a lot of pride in my craft, I work really hard at my craft everyday, and I'm a true professional.

I learned one thing - never hate a positive option.

This is it. It's for all the marbles. I'm sitting in the house loading up the pump, I'm loading up the Uzis, I've got a couple of M-16s, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of grenades, got a missile launcher. I'm ready for war.

Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal. I don't ever want to come off like that. My opinion is my opinion about someone.

'Modern Warfare,' 'Black Ops,' these are all the next level of video games. The people are more detailed, the fighting is more exact, and I can't speak for every gamer out there, but I know when I play, I feel like I'm actually in the game. It's that intense.

They're really aggressive. They're like roaches on bread - you drop some on the floor and, boom, they're on it.

Too much coffee. Too much coffee and Gatorade. It's a hell of a mix. If you're ever tired in the morning, just try that mix, and tell me what you think.

When you first come out, it's transition. You gotta find your routine, days you don't feel like doing it, you don't have to do it. But you know, it's in you. I like to think anyone wants to look good, I'm no different from that. More importantly, I wanna be healthy enough to run with my kids.

There are a lot of things that frustrate me. I get frustrated when I have to wait at a red light.

Flip's a player's coach, and I do know one thing, he motivates better than anybody I know. His system is very oriented around the point guard. He and Steph (Marbury) had a great relationship when Steph was in Minnesota.

I've never been an individual guy. I never cared about the accolades. I've always been driven by the competition and the learning process.

In my walks of life, I've understood that it takes more than one person to think of achieving a goal, and it takes more than one or two players, to get you out of the position you're in.

I don't think anything less than perfect, even though I'm a human being. The way I work and go at things is to better myself in perfect terms.

I'm not a star, man. If a guy came in here and shot you and shot me, we'd both be two dead people. You understand?

So we take a lot of pride in that. It's really on us to turn this thing around. I think this last month we've done just that. We've pointed ourself in the direction that we want to be, and I think we're starting to head towards that. Right now we're in a nice rhythm.
