| “You never know what that
dude is going to do, and that’s what makes him so good.
Seriously, he has supreme confidence in himself. And if you tell
him he can’t do something, he’ll prove you wrong.”

reacting to Josh Smith’s two key overtime three-pointers in the
team’s win against Toronto, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution |
