Michael Jordon Interview
Delvin:What led to your decision to get involved with the Charlotte Bobcats?
Michael Jordan: It was a lot of components. (Bobcats Majority Owner) Bob (Johnson) was on me for a couple of years actually, trying to get me involved. In the mix of that, I was still trying to find my own team and evaluate all of the different opportunities that were coming up. I felt like it would be somewhat of a compliment if I was looking for a team, then at the same time, trying to become a minority owner. Actually, I didn't want to become a minority owner of a team because of what I just came out of with Washington, so I was looking for more of a control situation where I could give myself some time to develop the whole program that I felt like could benefit the franchise. You saw obviously what happened in D.C. and Bob came to me at the last minute saying that he would at least give me the opportunity to become a minority owner and still take a control aspect of the basketball portion.

Interview with Matjaz Smodis, CSKA Moscow
You have won a continental title before, with Kinder Bologna. Is the life of a champ during the next season really different in terms of competing with perhaps more of an air of confidence maybe based on winning the year before?
"Of course, there's a lot of confidence and winning surely helps that. This year lot has been a lot easier for everybody, since we know each other more, plus we have more confidence from the results last year. In that sense, it is easier, but like I said before, we can't get overconfident, which can be the downside. We've got to keep showing up every day at practice and being ready for every game. Everyone sees us as defending champs, but we have to see it the other way."

Gilbert Arenas Blog
5-for-5 from 3-Point Range vs. Toronto
I've been shooting the ball well ever since the chiropractor came in and basically popped my shoulder back into place. For everybody who says a shoulder injury does not hurt, it hurts! Like, if Dwyane Wade comes back, he's a brave man. I was playing with pain for a month and a half and mine was just out of place a little bit. Just my clavicle was pushed in. I just thought it was sore the whole time, I didn't know it was actually out of place. So they popped it in and when they popped it in, all that pain just released and I just went down there and started shooting and I was just back on target. So I was like, "Oh, OK. I'm back just like that?"
The next game it was a good 2-for-9 from three because they was just in-and-out. It was a good 2-for-9. I was hitting jumpers. The stroke was on. It was on lean, it was ready.
