"You stood by me when times were toughest!" Carlik Jones signs, then ignites Grobari: I'm staying for two more years! /VIDEO/

"I'm excited. I'm in a good mood. I'm excited that we finally got this done. I'm excited to be here for two more years, to continue to be with my family, in a way. There have been a lot of ups and downs these two years, especially this year with the injury, but you guys had my back during the toughest moments in my career personally. And that's always stuck with me, and as I said, I'm glad we got it done. You know, I have mixed feelings about bringing this up now, just because of Duško and the whole situation, and I just want to send my prayers to him and his family and his loved ones. But yeah, I'm in a good mood, I'm happy, and I'm glad to be here for two years." - Carlik Jones

"Yeah, it was extremely emotional. But that's just a testament to our fanbase and the type of people we have here around this organization. I mean, I just love how everyone came together. As I said, I never knew him personally, I never had any interaction with him, but to see everyone show up, to see everyone show love and respect for everything he did... I saw it, I talked to my teammates about it, and they told me a couple of their stories about him and all that. So I think it's a big deal how everyone came out and showed it in a big way." - Carlik Jones

"I don't know, honestly. I think I'll figure it out when we go back and watch the film, but I think sometimes they just showed that they wanted the win more than us. Early in that first half, we made a lot of mistakes, and the offensive rebounds killed us. They kind of killed us with offensive rebounds and things like that. But Žalgiris is a good team, and we have to be, you know, focused for all 40 minutes to beat them. They've been playing great all year, so I think we just need to be more focused throughout the whole game, and we'll have a better chance to win." - Carlik Jones
