I'm a student of the game.

That was the turning point of my career. That garbage bag symbolized a lot of things for me. In that garbage bag was the old Jerome James. I set him free tonight.

If he feels that way, I can't really blame him. I have been injured a lot this season. When I came here, much was expected of me, just as much was promised to me. I'd say there's disappointment on both sides.

I wouldn't say there's so much wrong. It's just early. It's a situation where you have a new coach and seven different people. That's all it is, a lot of confusion.

I'm not going to stop until I get to like 275. Coach expressed to me that he wants me in front of the ball on defense and in front of the ball on offense. That translates to me into a track meet.

It's always discouraging when you are losing, but we got our butts kicked by another team that is struggling like we are. The Magic are having their ups and downs like we are, but they came to play tonight. We didn't. I can't stand here and say everything will be fine. There are a lot of guys wondering what is going on. I'm just trying to be professional, and take it as it comes.

You never expect it, but it's the lows and highs of the NBA. All I can do is continue being a professional, coming to work every day, making it get better.

You never expect this, but it's the lows and highs of the N.B.A..

I mean, I don't know. The only statement that needs to be made was made, and that's my statement as well.
