“All the stories are devastating, but the one that hit home with me was the story of a 7-year-old kid. They were trying to give him toys, and he broke down crying and said, 'These aren't my toys, these aren't my friends, those aren't my parents, those aren't my brothers.' The kid lost his mom and dad and both brothers. Imagine losing your whole family.”
“He's really mature, a lot more mature than most people think. I think every situation he stepped into, he's handled everything very well. I don't see anything changing.”
“It's gotten a lot stronger. It just depends on how it responds. I don't want to go out there in a situation where I hurt it again or aggravate it again.”
“I know I am not going to be playing my regular minutes for a while. When I come in, I am one of those guys that doesn't want to bring people down, I want to pump people up and pick it up a little bit. I want to bring energy and excitement and I want to do everything I can to help the team win.”
“I felt like the first day of school or something. My heart was beating a little faster, my anticipation was building up. It was like the first day of school when you go to kindergarten or something.”
