Glen Davis Quotations

We are a team that likes to use selective hearing. Day after day we have to go out there and compete. What the critics say: thanks for the pub. But it is for the birds.

We're going to learn from this. We're going to remember what happened in the Final Four and never let it happen again.

So I love the Temples, and what can I say? They kind of saved my life.

Most of the time when I'm shooting threes, I'm thinking about it too much. (But) I was in rhythm, and I felt that it was a great shot.

One of his lungs had collapsed. He couldn't breathe. You could see him struggling for air.

My assignment is to play the biggest and best post man on each team. So I just have to do what I'm supposed to do to get the ball game won. I'm just going to take it as a regular game.

Now we've got to finish out this season, win the SEC and start thinking about the postseason.

I wish I could hit the rewind button and go back. I can't do that, of course. But this will make me a better person and a better player. It makes me want to get back next year and win it all.

I have always remembered that he could run like a deer. With those long legs, he can sprint and run the floor. Over the year, he has gotten more physical and he has let his presence be felt.

I feel we're gaining respect. We're doing something special here.

I feel that Tyrus Thomas is a big impact on our team. We are going to need him to compete and play for us in the tournament.

I feel real light, mobile and agile. I feel I can run longer. My endurance is up.

He gave advice to not follow in his footsteps. He had a lot to do with me making my decision.

He's a great player. He's an All-American. I am trying not to get too excited because a guy like me who is kind of low on the radar, is licking his chops right now because this is an opportunity to show the world that you can play.

He didn't make it. He was being transported to Baton Rouge General. He didn't make it I heard. I heard he passed in the ambulance.

He cuts a lot of slack off me and the rest of the team. We just hope he gets well and we can get all the way to the top.

He (Curtis) is a big load. It felt like I was playing one on one with myself. I was (exhausted), like, two minutes into the game.

We are going to play him with his hand in the ground at defensive end mostly. We plan to do a lot of different things with him similar to how Auburn plans to use him. He is everything as advertised. Coach Collins and his staff did a great job getting him ready for us.

Just to be around this great group of people, I have grown up a lot, thought things out and have prayed about it. I have come to the conclusion that I am not finished yet. There are a lot of things I want to accomplish not only as a player but as a person.

I was analyzing the guys' nonverbal communication. I learned that in sociology. When I see that, when I see fatigue, some negative things, you've got to go straight at them.

I think it was the will. The will and determination that I had that I wanted to win.

It gave me a sense of purpose. What I'm basically here for on this earth is to impact little kids and other people through the game of basketball with my personality. It just made me realize how important projecting a positive image to people who are down and out can be and to give them a sense of hope.

It gave me a sense of purpose. It just made me realize how important projecting a positive image to people who are down and out can be and to give them a sense of hope.

Last time I checked the roster, Bill Walton wasn't playing. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wasn't playing. Reggie Miller wasn't playing. We can't let that scare us.

I saw a lot of stuff. I saw little kids in intensive care, old people real bad off, a lot of things.

Our critics didn't believe in us and we were good. But we're not satisfied. We've got tapeworms in our bellies and we still want to eat.

My mental approach to the game in the second half was on a veteran level. I just got more physical with my approach.

It feels good to see that trophy standing there. But that's not the one we want.

It feels good, but we're not finished yet. We have a goal and it's right in front of us. We have to go and accomplish it.

It feels good, but we're not finished yet.

It feels good, but it's over. There's another task at hand.

It feels real good. To beat Duke, they're a great team. That just shows a lot about our team.

I thought he was going to throw it to me for a second. But then he looked at the clock, and I knew he was going to shoot it and make it.

That's the role I have to have for this team. When we need a shot or we need something to happen, I have to be the guy to do that.

My coaches are always telling me, if you have an open shot, take it because you can shoot the ball. I took what the defense gave me.

We'll never forget. Our approach will be to do everything right this season and be at our best at the end of the season.

We're not teammates. We're friends. We're family. We're brothers. It's always gonna be that way.

We call each other brothers, brothers from another mother.

We were shocked. We just couldn't get up after the start. It just didn't go our way today, and that's basketball.

We just have a chemistry and camaraderie that most people can't establish.

We knew Tennessee had lost, but we didn't dwell on it. We hadn't stepped on the court yet. We're in first now. If it falls in place for us, it falls in place.

You gotta love it baby. Oh my goodness.

You gotta be willing to take some shots and bounce back up. It's not new to this group to get up and fight.

Every time I'm on the free-throw line now, I think about Kentucky, and that situation.

Everybody wishes they could jump high. It's not been a surprise to me. Knowing him, I knew he was going to excel.

It was an even contest. They hustled us and got most of our 50/50 balls. We just played a little lackadaisical from three days off. We did have excellent defense from Alex Seifert and Carl Tesch.

The tall guy, I was amazed at how tall he was. He's so tall. Imagine if I had that height.

I wanted to give a shout-out to the people of Louisiana. I wanted to give them some motivation ... give them a good feeling about their state.

Raven has been a good kid since he got here. I could tell he was a little home sick the first week or two he was here, but I think he is over all that. We have been on him about taking care of business in the classroom. He has done everything we have asked.

Oh, you look like the kind of guy who might have a cookie.

You've got to see it, you've got to believe it before you can do it.

You don't get this chance a lot. You don't get this opportunity to play on a stage like this, win one of the immortality trophies. That's what I call it. You win the trophy, you live forever, basically.

It really touched me from a mental aspect as far as my purpose in life.

It really touched me as far as my purpose in life to see a patient sitting there and everything they went through. So it really changed my life and gave me a purpose to strive for.

For breakfast, I'll have soy milk with some South Beach Diet cereal, and maybe a pear or an apple,

It makes you appreciate life at a younger age. You think about the choices you make in life. You want to make sure you go out the right way.

It shows how much talent we have in the area and how much we love our state.

It's called thinking without thinking. That's what I call it. The opportunity was there to make the shot. Most of the time when I'm shooting or when I'm shooting threes, I'm thinking about it too much. So I just was in rhythm, and I felt that it was a great shot and I made it.

They did a great job. When I put the ball on the court, they would double team me. I wasn't getting any calls, my shots were not falling and I took some bad shots.

They came out and punched us and we didn't recover from it.

They came out and just punched us. We were kind of shocked. We just couldn't get up.

It was hard out there banging with those big fellows. We kept our composure with how tough they were playing defense.

Things didn't go my way today. I just wanted to do something to turn the game around and help our team win.

I want to have my own stamp of immortality. Shaq is going to live forever. I can't live forever being Baby Shaq. I want to be my own guy.

I want to have my own stamp of immortality. Every guy strives for immortality, wants to live forever.

I'm just so proud of us, the chemistry that we have. To beat Duke, they're a great team. And that just shows a lot about our team, and what kind of character we have. It feels good, but now it's over. Now it's another task at hand.

I had to catch the ball high (away from the basket). It's hard to do much with the ball when you're that far out.

I never saw this type of game coming. They just came out and just punched us and we didn't recover from it.

I never saw this type of game coming, especially (with) the kind of team we are, the kind of character we have. They came out and they just punched us. We didn't recover from it.

I never saw this type of game coming, especially the kind of team we are. But you never say never. They came out and punched us and we never recovered from it. What can I say? This was their night. We were kind of shocked in (the beginning). We got knocked down, tried to recover, couldn't get up.

I'm an emotional guy, ... I couldn't handle too much.

I just wanted to do something to turn the game around. And at that moment (at the free throw line), I saw the opportunity where I can get a rebound, and I went and got it. ... Twice.

I hear it everywhere I go. I should have worn my shirt. It says, 'I am not Shaq.

I had a high level of concentration out there today. That's how I approached it. I made sure I was ready to play. I just wanted to win.

Can we get some AC up here please. It's hot.

He's relentless on the boards and he has a high level of potential.

I was analyzing the guys' nonverbal communication..

I witnessed a surgery on a patient from New Orleans who was in a car accident. He didn't have any flow of oxygen. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't get a good flow of oxygen, so they did a surgery on him right there, and I was just holding the IV up watching.

Education is always very important. Ultrasound is, I think, quite a niche market. We know our customers very well. We listen to a lot of feedback and they're more than happy to tell us their thoughts.

He (Barrera) was unstoppable. He played excellent. Griffith was the man of the night for Lejeune though.

The road to the Final Four was a great experience, and I grew up tremendously experiencing that environment and the people I met. As a team we shared the feeling of being there, and playing that last game was a terrible taste in your mouth that you would never forget. Losing like that in that way is going to affect you, and me being the guy that I am - a competitor - you always want to leave out on top. That altered my decision a lot. Because not only do I want to be the best player, but I also want to win. Being there and not winning was a disappointment, and that made me want to come to back.

The frustration was definitely there. I realized I've got to be a humble guy out there, because sometimes things aren't going to go my way.

The loss is basically my fault. I didn't play the way I have to play for us to win a game like that. The loss is on me.
