BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population.

We all get the fact that we didn't win the championship last season ... So, we don't really But in terms of getting too excited about this good start or thinking we've won the championship in November, we all remember getting our butts kicked (by the Boston Celtics) in the Finals in June. 
I know Kevin did a lot of great things for this city, but I'm looking at it as just going out there and just trying to beat the Boston Celtics
Getting to know [ex-Boston Celtics coach] Red Auerbach was one of the greatest times of my life.
Nothing can replace it. I still have a lot of friends here ... I watched all the [playoff] games last season and I was rooting for the Celtics - Boston is my city and the Celtics are my team. I was here for four years and I will always remember them as good years.
Obviously I’ve never been here, and it speaks volumes ... It was a little surreal, being here with the president and seeing the White House. But this was about being here, reflecting with ownership on what we’ve done, enjoying it, and nothing more than that.
It was a great honor to hear him mention me and my teammates like that ... I got real nervous back there. My hands were sweaty. I haven’t been that close to a president before.
