The one thing we did feel was that he was the right type of player to play alongside of Dwight.

The one thing you realize when you play with Sean is how good a hockey player he is when he's not doing all the other stuff. Sean can score, he's got skill and he has unbelievable speed. And when he uses those tools, he's tough to stop out there.

The only England player I have come across is Rio Ferdinand. I played against him when he was at Leeds.

The only reason I'd say no to that is because it's the type of player he is. We have other guys that can fill in in certain spots, but it's the athlete, it's the versatile 6-6, 6-7 athlete that can guard inside guys and guards, and that's where it creates some problems for us. It's not really replacing apples to apples. Anybody else that we replace him with is a completely different kind of athlete.

The only reason I'm bringing my condition to your attention now is because the swelling of a lymph node near my left ear has become noticeable to viewers of TNT, and there have been questions asked. My plan is to work the rest of the NBA season and playoffs, go to the beach with my wife, Cheryl, and our four kids, and start a treatment regimen in late June, which will likely include chemotherapy. And then I'll go back to work.
