Raymond Felton Quotations

With my dad, he's just working so hard to take care of me and give me all the things I needed or wanted,

She's great. I've been a fan since high school.

My friends and I are blessed to escape this accident with only minor injuries, and thankfully I was wearing my seat belt.

J.R.'s got some hops, so it was really fun playing out there with him. He's part of the family, and the whole event signifies our Carolina family.

Our chances are great. We are a great team.

I was hitting on all cylinders. I had that fight in me. I wanted to win. We should have won the game. Once again, we had the ball in our hands.

I was fairly decent, I could have done better. Jason Kidd came at me one time with that crossover and that's an extremely quick move. That's J-Kidd, he's been doing it all his life. I told him 'great move.' That's all I could say.

Joining the EA Sports team is a great way to cap off my college career. Growing up, I played EA Sports games all the time and to now be the spokesman for 'NCAA March Madness 06' is incredible.

We were staying in the game, but when (Jefferson) got hot, he spread the lead. They took it up to 15 and 18. We'd cut it back down but he'd come down and hit two big threes. He had it going tonight. We had no answer for him. We played great defense, and he still was hitting it.

This showed if we don't take care of the ball against really good teams, we're not going to be successful.

We all dreamed about this moment, just to be able to give back to your mom and dad, ... We can never give back to them what they've given to us for all of our years. But just trying to start, just by telling your mom and dad they don't have to work if they don't want to, or take them home a brand new car, something they've never had, it's just a wonderful feeling.

We're going to be just fine next year. We're going to be a playoff team next year as long as we're healthy. There's no question in my mind about that.

Even though I said that to some kids, I wanted to say that anyway. So I'm kind of glad that it came out the way it came out. I don't back down from anything that I say.

There's no beef between us, ... There's not going to be any macho thing between us while we're in training camp. We're just coming into training camp trying to make our team better.

Sometimes the ball doesn't go into the basket. Tonight was one of those nights.

Raymond would come by and see me covered in sweat, and I wasn't working in the day; I was working all night, ... He'd come in and he'd just shake his head. But he knew I had to work. He knew it had to be done.

That's my man. He always told me: 'You're a winner,' and to always play with confidence when I go out there.

It really doesn't matter at this point. I mean, it would've been nice to go down there. But I'm looking at the positives. I'm going to get some rest.

I took advantage, I calmed down and ran the team. Everything was clicking tonight.

I told the guys that I was proud of them. As short-handed as we are right now, I don't know if I can ask any more of them in this situation.

That's the attitude that I'm trying to bring to this team, ... I'm trying to instill it in everybody, even the guys who are veterans on this team. We're coming in to win games, and we're coming in to try to make the playoffs. We shouldn't settle for anything less.

Everybody was getting very excited about our team (Latta High School) in the state championship. But I'd been hearing about her in the state championships. I had to see her. She's so small. She's got a lot of heart. She's not scared of anybody.

The lane just opened up. I made a cut and it all fell through. We fought so hard for this game. We were both fighting injuries. We had to get this one. There was no way we were going to fight this hard and not win this game.

I'm not backing down from what I said, regardless of who says whatever about it,

I'm not backing down from what I said. I wasn't saying (it) to be bold or to be cocky. I was saying it because I have confidence in my team and my teammates. That's the mentality that I'm trying to bring to this team.

I'm just trying to get everybody involved. I knew that we needed everybody in order to win the game. I was trying to get everybody involved, get everybody going, and that's what happened.

In ninth grade, I figured he maybe could finally beat me, ... In 10th grade, I knew he could beat me. So I stopped playing him then because whenever anyone asked 'Who won the last game?' I always wanted to be able to say 'I did.'

In ninth grade, I figured he maybe could finally beat me,

I do want to play, I don't want to sit the bench. But if I don't start, Coach did that for a reason. I'm not going to complain about that. I'm going to be ready to play when my time is here.

This is a great group of guys -- this is my class. I'll see a whole bunch of them next year. I might see all of them.

The competition is great, ... We both are good guards. We're just going to have fun with it and try to make each other better.

I'm human. I'm going to miss shots, ... When I miss four (in a row), I've got to feel I can make the fifth one.
