    These questions (the serious ones at least) will be asked to the players. And the answers will be coming this Sunday because Saturday night against the Bobcats is the game I am going too. I'll do my best to ask the players as many of these questions as I can.

    Are you an interviewer or something?? Not to intrude, but just curious.

    Yeah, JustBBall gets me media credentials and I cover some Magic games as a member of the press.

    Ok guys, I'm really sorry it took this long for me to post these. This last month has been pretty hectic but without further ado, here are my interviews with JJ Redick, Jameer Nelson, and Grant Hill.


    <font size=""3"">JJ Redick Interview</font>


    Question: Do you still keep in touch with Adam Morrison and are you looking forward to matching up against him?

    [IMGR]http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/414/redickavyja2.jpg[/IMGR]JJ Redick: Yeah, I still talk with Adam. He's a good friend and I'm excited about seeing him play tonight. It's the first time I've gotten to see him in person in a real game so it should be good.

    Question: Do you like your role on this team?

    JJ Redick: I don't really have a role on this team right now so no, I don't like it but I'm going to keep working hard and try to get into the rotation.

    Question: What is a misperception about you that you'd like to clarify?

    JJ Redick: I don't really care what people perceive about me to be honest with you, so whatever people want to think is what they're going to think. You're not going to be able to change their opinion.

    Question: Which players have helped you adapt the most to the league?

    JJ Redick: I think everybody has been really good at helping me make the adjustment. Guys like Grant Hill and Carlos Arroyo. Those guys have been really good about helping me.

    Question:
    How did it feel to make your season debut against the Atlanta Hawks? Did you feel like Rudy out there?

    JJ Redick: It felt good to get out there, get my feet wet and take a couple shots. I guess it felt something like Rudy, although I'd like to think I'm a little more talented than that (laughs). I just have to wait for my opportunity and that's all it comes down too.


    <font size=""3"">Jameer Nelson Interview</font>


    Question: What aspect of your game did you try to improve over the offseason?

    [IMGR]http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/5758/magicartfi6.jpg[/IMGR]Jameer Nelson: I want to try to be more of a leader.

    Question: Who would you like the Magic to sign this summer with their cap room?

    Jameer Nelson:
    Well, I'm not really sure. I haven't looked at any of the players and that's not really my concern.

    Question:
    What is a misperception about you that you'd like to clarify?

    Jameer Nelson: That I can't lead this team.

    Question:
    Is there any players in the league that you enjoy playing against the most?

    Jameer Nelson:
    Allen Iverson.

    Question:
    How does it feel to be in first place in the Eastern Conference?

    Jameer Nelson: You know, it's always good to win but we gotta keep our focus and continue to play. We gotta get better every day.

    Question: Dwight had a big game tonight, what are your thoughts on his progression?

    Jameer Nelson: He gets better everyday. You know, he's working on getting out of the double team and working on all the things he needs to, to be successful for us.

    Question: You were put on the All-Star game ballot. How important is that to you?

    Jameer Nelson: To me? (laughs) It's not important at all. That's not even on my mind, it's just one of those things. All the accolades, trophies, and extra stuff come with winning so it's all about the team.


    <font size=""3"">Grant Hill Interview</font>

    [IMGR]http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/4569/hilliq2.jpg[/IMGR]
    Question: How good is this team compared to other teams you have played on throughout your NBA career?

    Grant Hill: Well I don't like comparing teams but this team is pretty good. We have a lot of depth and a lot of good players at every position and it's too early to tell but we'll see (how good we are) as the year progresses.

    Question:
    How many more years do you see yourself playing with the Magic?

    Grant Hill: Oh man, I don't know, as long as I can (laughs).

    Question:
    Is there any possibility you'll coach when you retire?

    Grant Hill:
    No, not at all. I have no desire to coach.

    Question: What's a misperception about you that you'd like to clarify?

    Grant Hill:
    Hmm, I don't know. People always have perceptions about you that aren't always true but that's reality, that's life, so I don't really know.

    PS: You might want to fix up that Jameer Nelson segment

    Before each game Dwight goes to the arena's chapel to pray so it's always tough to get a one on one interview with him. Also, thanks for noticing the errors. I fixed them up. [​IMG]

    I'm telling you, yes, he does. That would be a waste of a question.

    How would you know?? Just because he's always hyper doesn't mean anything. Do you think him and Garrity roll a blunt together?

    You want to know how I know, or do you want to shoot down what I say with some stupid comment before even hearing my justification?

    Clearly the latter

    Well atleast it is safe to say that J.J. isn't a jerk, or arrogant....[​IMG]

    I dislike this kid even more, maybe I'm just reading too much into it though. [​IMG]

    Good interviews nonetheless I suppose.
