This is an interview of Rafer Alston from Hoopshype.com. http://www.hoopshype.com/interviews/alston_calkins.htm <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rafer Alston: "I'm not a bad crazy guy" by Keith Calkins / October 5, 2005 What was your reaction when you first heard the news of the trade? Rafer Alston: I was shocked. I was getting ready early for practice and was pulled off the court and told I was traded. You sign a long deal there and you’re thinking even with the distractions, you put it behind you and work together. You and Jeff Van Gundy have only had a brief time to talk. Can you take us inside that introductory sit-down? RA: He just told me we’re wiping a clean slate. Just go out and perform and put things behind you. And I explained to him I’m not this bad crazy guy. If I was that bad a person, trust me, I would not have one year in this league. And I think everyone knows that. My play and my personality prior to last year was built around being a hard-working guy. A guy who loves to laugh, smile and play the game. If I didn’t react the way I reacted (walking out of a December practice that prompted a two-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the club), I don’t think we would be hearing about any of those questions. </div> <font color="red">Please do not quote full articles in the future. ~Trip</font>
