Final Four memories

Still, it was real special because we all grew up together. We had known each other since we were kids. Minus Darrel Mitchell, the starting five, we had all been playing ball together since we were 11 or 12. It was just like playing pickup ball. With myself, Glen (Davis), Taz (Tasmin Mitchell), Garrett (Temple), everything was family-oriented. We still talk to each other. It was like brotherhood. It was like going to college with your brother—that's the equivalent of it. Our families hung out all the time—our mothers are still in contact with each other—so to them, that week was just another game.
