You know, I think from the get-go. I didn’t get off to a good start. We didn’t get off to a good start, you know, as a team. My shooting percentage was down. Most of it is on me, but I think me and the organization, we just didn’t see eye-to-eye on a couple things. And like I said, it’s no love lost. It was the best decision for me and my situation and for that team.

I’ve just always had confidence in myself. And then, I have the respect and confidence from my teammates. That gives me even more confidence in myself to play the game because my teammates trust me and believe in me.

“When I first came in, I told everybody on my team that I wanted to be great,” Howard said Sunday evening, following Orlando’s 104-97 win over the Sacramento Kings. “And what they said to me was, you have to be good before you be great.
“You gotta take steps to greatness,” he added. “And I understand now what they mean – it’s a process.”

Some of them are so young and some of them don’t really know. They just pretty much focus on basketball. And that’s not their job, to focus on where we’re going to be at and what’s going on with the city, what’s going on with the arena. Their job is to play. So I would tell them, don’t worry about that. Take care of your business on the court and however it plays out, let it play out.

For Michael Jordan, the PR person with the Bobcats told me he gets 300 interview requests a day. Not a week. Not a month. A day. [laughs] That just shows you how rarely he does interviews. But once he saw Wayman Tisdale’s name, he said “I’ll do that one”. Michael Jordan was an obvious choice because they played on the Olympic team together. They were really good friends. Michael Jordan was (also) a big fan of his music.
