Mo Williams Quotations

Me and Lindsey go way back. Me and his brother grew up together and I spent a lot of time at their house. Lindsey kind of took us up under his wing.

Nobody would want to think it. But it happened.

I got in today and it was pretty sore, but I just played through it. It's basically what I have to do in the game.

I look up to him man, I do. Being a basketball player, coming from the same city the same town, he set the mold for us to shoot for.

He got out of there to Memphis during the evacuation time, so he was safe. But he went back and everything was gone.

He was oh-for-whatever. I don't know what the situation was but that scares me more than anything. Because normally a guy like that, the next night, they're in an attack mode. They're aggressive and . . . I don't know, New York does scare you. They have great players on their team, so you never know. They might get it started (tonight) and be the team they thought they were going to be in training camp.

I watched my parents battle, work night shift, work two jobs. That's toughness. That's toughness... That's something; it all carries over from your parents, and I was fortunate to have both parents in my life.

I think they outworked us the entire game. They wanted it, they had the motivation and it showed.

I said something to Joe after the game in Chicago. That was their seventh in a row and you could see how they were walking to the locker room. We were walking off and I said, 'You know what? I remember that feeling.' Walking to the locker room like you don't know what's the problem. You're playing hard, but you just don't know. And you try to figure it out. So it's a big difference for us from last year to this year.

People are just trying to think about survival. Everything is boarded up or just flattened.

I think so. I'm pretty sure it came up in their locker room. It came up in ours. I'm pretty sure Pat let them know, you've got to send a message to these guys because we might see them in the playoffs.

You can deal with some of the jump shots he made, he's been making them all season. But he kept making daggers, a dagger here and a dagger there. At the same time, we were digging ourselves in a hole by not making shots.

We're a favorite now. I think teams know Milwaukee is good now. We've got to be more prepared ourselves because teams are going to be more prepared for us.

We're trying to get to the point where coming down the stretch we know what we want and know how to get to it. I think it's just our inexperience coming down the stretch. . . . Everything's tight. The pressure's on us and a lot of times we've got to make plays. They're a championship team and we're trying to get where they're at.

We have sent a message to those guys. You are going to see them come in with an attitude in Game 4. They probably felt like they were going to sweep us and get some rest for the second round. Now they know we have confidence. They know we think we can beat them. They are going to come after us and try to put us away. But we've got a lot of confidence now. That won't be easy.

We just grinded it out, made a few plays here and there and came out with the win.

I've learned that creating a healthy, active environment for kids helps build the foundation for a successful future.

You've just got to keep fighting through it, keep going on. This is the nature of the business. Look at Indiana last year; they probably had the worst situation. They had injuries and suspensions, and they still made a push for the playoffs.

It's all about leading by example. Am I going to be perfect? Absolutely not.

I took 1,500 jump shots a day this summer. It's much better.

You think you're playing well, then you look at the score and you're like, 'We're down 15.' That's the sign of playing a good team. At times, we just have mental lapses. Most teams do, but good teams really don't. That's the difference.

It's hard getting into a rhythm but that's no excuse. I'm just trying to do what I can.

It's very frustrating. I'm just pushing it through, giving what I can to the team.

Not really. I just want to try and get better. Every year. That's my goal.

The feeling is exciting. You wake up and you want to come to practice. You're ready to play a game. There's no turmoil. There's no bad blood between people . . . the coaches or whatever. It's just a good atmosphere and that goes on the court with how you play and how the team plays together.

I play both X-Box 360 and Playstation 3. I prefer X-Box 360, but they don't have 'MLB - The Show,' so I have to play every other game on the X-Box.

If he wasn't here, I'd have to go down to Centre Avenue and buy stuff. My mom, she comes down here to buy her cigarettes.

I average 15, so I feel I have to score a little bit. With T.J. out, I just have to find my places.

Encouraging children to live healthy lifestyles is something I take very seriously.

A man lets you know who he is by how he treats others.

The game of basketball is not played with throwing punches, throwing elbows.

The way he was playing, he probably could have scored on Jesus.

I'm no different than any other expendable player.
