Look at the Lakers. You saw them with Kobe and Shaq and they won championships together. Then Shaq left and what happened? Every action figure needs [help], like Batman and Robin. One man doing it all is a fairytale.

Coach's system last year, it worked well for some people. But I'm a shot-blocker and I don't think the way we played defense was best for me.

This was where I wanted to be all along. I wanted to be here, I wanted to play with Chris [ Webber ]. He took me under his wing last season and I feel there is still so much I can learn from him.
feel learn play
The doctor told me I was supposed to be in for three or four minutes at a time, then take a break and go back in. But I felt good and I wanted to stay the whole practice. What happened is one guy got the fast break and I ran after him and tried to push the second gear, and I kind of pulled it up a little bit.
time kind practice break good guy doctor
After Michael Bradley got hurt and had his surgery, I was like,?Man, I wish I could be there?.. But we still have guys that are gonna step up and do what they?re capable of doing and helping us out winning. The coaches and everybody said,?Take your time. We need you by Nov. 1.? So I?m trying to get in a week before November, kind of get a little shape back and get myself into it.
man time kind hurt helping winning guys november
I'm comfortable now

I am just hoping to start playing a little bit more and get my momentum, timing, position and patience back,.. It feels good just being out there.
good timing patience start
That would have been a tough decision. If the staff didn't change, it would have been something to think about.
change decision
I'm comfortable now. Look, my problem last year was playing time. I just wanted the chance to go out and prove myself and I know Mo is going to utilize me the best way he can.
chance time problem comfortable
I don't think it's effort. I think everybody out there is trying to do the right things. I think everybody out there puts a lot of pressure on themselves to defend.
effort pressure things
