Bobby Jackson Quotations

We started this really for race relations, to bring people together from all races and to show that people can get along. Before the race we brought about this heritage house to promote unity.

We also sponsor the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday celebration every third Monday of January.

I was shocked at how they played us and the confidence they had. They were arrogant and that's how you have to be. They had that mentality of 'I'm going in the arena and beat their (butts).' We didn't have that.

If it's going to help you, I don't see why (you can't use it). If you're wearing it for a fashion statement, I can see why the league might have a problem with it. Me, I wouldn't wear it if it didn't help.

He's deserving of it, man. He's a great guy, great coach, was a great player. People said he wouldn't win the championship with the San Antonio Spurs, and he proved them wrong.

He's definitely worthy of it. He's put up big number this year. He's a big part of why this team is successful and we're playing well.

It hurt real badly. I couldn't even run.

It gets us ready for everything in the world.

That was huge for them. And they kept that momentum into the third quarter.

We've lost some games we should have won. But very rarely do we get beat by 20.

We shouldn't get into wrestling matches or trash-talking. In the playoffs, it's who plays the hardest.

We don't want to give teams easy baskets. That mindset is going to help us in the playoffs. It's who we are.

You have to change in the playoffs. Even though we wanted to score, we knew we had to play at least some decent defense to have a chance to win the game. So we made a valiant effort.

When you are playing a team like that, it is tough to come back. You got to have enough legs to win the game. Burks and (forward Hakim) Warrick came in and played great but it wasn't quite enough.

We wanted to tell the younger guys it was just one game.

What I've heard is that he doesn't have a lot of heart. If I don't like what I see, I'll say, 'Hey, you can't let guys run over you.'

What I've heard is he doesn't have a lot of heart.

Every game is important in the last 20 games; you have to win as many as you can. Whoever is playing the best basketball is going to go to the playoffs. We have to get every win we can and play well.

Don't give up on us. We just didn't rebound the ball well, which has been hurting us all year, and the turnovers. If we can stay between 12 and 13 turnovers, we'll be fine.

This game is about heart and being competitive. It doesn't matter what you did in the regular season, it's about what you do in the playoffs. ... It's embarrassing. I've never been swept in the playoffs.

At least four or five games have got away from us because of free-throw shooting.

It's a blessing to be back in Salisbury and see the boys and girls play. And just to be around the community.

I tried to make it an interesting game, but Brad hit some big shots. We need to battle back and find some way to get this thing turned around.

It's the defense. Our defense has been extremely good all year. We're working and making it tough for teams out there, making them miss and take tough shots. Defense is what gets it all going for us.

It's like we're high school kids and they're professional athletes.

Everybody has to have a rhythm. (Arenas) does the same thing.

They were attacking the basket and the officials were calling everything for them. What else can you do? ... We knew they would come out and push the ball. We weren't ready for it.

They just wanted it more. We did all the right things in the first 12 minutes, and did all the wrong things from then on out.

I know how he's feeling. It's going to be tough, but we got his back. We got to step it up. It's just sad though.

I haven't started in a while. But regardless of whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I feel like I'm capable of running the team and being productive right now.

His initials are PG, but I want him to be rated R.
