#layoff

My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn't really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I've been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I've been in the NBA. ↗

No matter how noble and special people want to make the playoffs out to be... it's a crapshoot. ↗

We literally had all 10 teams alive for a playoff position in the final week of the season. That outstanding balance and those close races created a major surge in attendance in the last month of the season. ↗

When I look back at the tapes, your first everything, your first All-Star Game, your first playoff experience, it just seems like it went by really fast. ↗

When I go back to NFL functions today, I feel a bit on the outside looking in. I played 13 years in the NFL, and I loved it - made a Pro Bowl and went to the playoffs - but I always felt like I was having to knock the door down to get in. ↗

The playoffs are the playoffs. You just play who is put in front of you. ↗

I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet. ↗

I'm not going to fight because I mean too much to our team, and I can't afford to be suspended for a game or do something stupid to get me kicked out of a playoff game. ↗

To me, it's like we're already in the playoffs. Every game is important for our position. We can't relax at all. ↗

You always want to feel better but I'm good. My thing is once you get to the playoffs, you do whatever it takes. You've got to lay it on the line. ↗
