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. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Nobody's ever won the national championship in November ... If you sit back and look, there's been a lot of teams talked about as being great, and they may not have won it. I was an assistant coach (at North Carolina) in '84. That may have been the greatest team I've ever been around. Michael Jordan. Sam Perkins. Brad Daugherty. Joe Wolf. Kenny Smith. Five first-round draft choices. They didn't win the national championship. 
LaMarcus and Greg should be just as good as Shawn and better than the combination of Shawn and Sam [Perkins] that we had ... I think LaMarcus can be as good as Shawn. Both are very athletic, but he can shoot better than Shawn. Shawn was more of a power player in the paint. A runner, a finisher. LaMarcus can run and finish, and defensively, he's longer and probably a little better defender than Shawn.
She did a terrific job for this franchise for a long time ... This is a principle commitment for this franchise to do this, really, really well. This has been a major focus for Larry Bird and (owner) Herb Simon, and we think bringing Sam Perkins in is a great move.
I call him 'Sam Perkins,' ... Everything looks the way you'd think, but at the end of it, he competes and he can play a little bit.
I've been blessed with this great gift, but I think it's not music or basketball ... My greatest gift is to make other people feel better. What better tool than to have gone through something like this? If you see me smile, you see the genuine love. That's me.
You can never give up because quitting is not an option ... No matter how dark it is or how weak you get, until you take that last breath, you must fight.
The drive that he has to succeed as an athlete is the same drive that you have to have here ... If you give him [Wayman] two to three keys, he picks up on the concept almost immediately. His muscle memory is incredible and he's very coachable.
