Eddie Johnson Quotations

Forwards get hot and cold. Right now, it's all about me getting into my form.

We try to involve anyone who is involved at any level to talk about peace, to emphasize it more, talk about it more, and support it more.

He's got the best left hand that I have seen in the NBA in years. It'd be hard for me to sit down and try to figure out who has a better left hand than Steve Nash when he's going to the basket.

This was one of those games where everything happened right for me.

I was lucky. I was in the right place at the right time. I moved into the box, and Landon made a very unselfish play to pass the ball.

I think it's a group where we can have a lot of success. I think we can go in with great confidence and match up really well.

I was told if you make a run, nine times out of 10 you will get the ball. It's true.

It couldn't be set up in a better way. It would be great to get a result against a team like Mexico and qualify for Germany at the same time.

We just want to put on a good performance for them, its going to be an exciting feeling once I step on the field.

This team has a lot of depth. It'll be amazing when you combine the best players from MLS with the ones in Europe.

We were like a busted truck and they put a stop to us from the beginning.

There's going to be a lot of people to enjoy it.

The toe is doing great and it's getting better every day. I'm trying to push myself in these little mini games we've been having and the little competitions we've been having in training camp.

The score was already 2-0 when I came in, and Bruce told me just to have fun. Whenever I try to have fun I tend to do well.

People who have fought hard all their lives appreciate a guy that size who takes the hits he does. The way he plays has overshadowed all the other stuff he's had happen off the court. Not many players are able to combat that, but he's been able to.

This is awesome. It's what you dream of -- maybe dream of just getting on the field for a few minutes or maybe scoring a goal. But three ...

This is the only place the law, the authorities, will let us stay.

It really has come down to the days where you have to market the kids.

Dallas was a great place for me. I learned a lot while I was there. I thank the organization for all they did for me and having the confidence to draft me when I was so young.

It's a necessary evil. I'm trying to get him to a few of the All-American camps.

It was like (for FC Dallas), why did you trade me? But I don't have anything against Dallas. It was my home.

No, it's not 100 percent, but it's close. I'm almost there. I'm just happy to be back in camp and with the team again.

It was a good ball by Landon, but it's like a kid in a candy store. I was already thinking about my celebration before I even headed the ball.

It's really an honor to be able to do this and help in any way.

So far, it's just a he-say, she-say kind of thing. I believe Isiah is innocent because he has always conducted himself in a professional manner. But charges like that, even when proven false, can still hurt you. When you have money and power and you're in the limelight, you're always a target for stuff like this.

I'm getting there. It's more from the mental standpoint now. There will be a little bit of pain, and in my head I think I'm making it worse and I know I'm not.

I just want to see if I can play at this level,

I'm happy. I'm going there to score goals.

I'll let Bruce make his decisions, and I'll be fine with whatever. I'm just happy to be back with the guys.

I couldn't do anything except ride the (exercise) bike and do some upper body work to stay somewhat fit. I was just miserable. But the success of the team kept me happy and gave me something to strive for.

I don't think they're as strong as they've been in the past. Italian soccer isn't as good as it used to be.

I can't come right out of the boot and step on the field. I really want to play in the playoffs. But it just doesn't make any sense to go out there and hurt myself even worse.

He and Charles (Barkley) were the best superstar teammates I ever had, where they were just down to earth and very humble.

The first week of camp has been good. The whole organization has been good at working me back into it slowly. My toe is feeling great. Right now I'm just trying to get my form back.
