<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Tell me why you picked New Jersey? The reason why I picked New Jersey is because it was the best basketball decision for me. I was offered a contract for more years and more money but this is a chance to play on a good team that is competitive and has a chance to win the Finals. It is not about the money it is about winning games. Talk about playing with Jason Kidd and what that does for a guy who plays on the inside? That was one of the major reasons for coming here. To play with Jason Kidd is a chance to win a lot of games and be a part of something great. Jason Kidd speaks for himself. He is a phenomenal player. He makes everyone around him better. I am looking forward to the opportunity of working with him. Do you see yourself fitting a need with the Nets? Not to take anything away from New Jersey, but I felt they have some good pieces here. My only objective is to enhance and make things better here. I am a scorer and a rebounder. I take pride in playing every game whether hurt or not. I bring a toughness that I haven?t seen in this league very often. The things that I bring along with the things that are here I think we are the team to beat. When Rod and Lawrence tried to sell you on the idea of coming to Jersey did you want to say I was an All Star before and I don?t need a sales job, but to just find a place that I can prove myself. Or does the other stuff matter to find a place that fits? I always see myself as an All Star and I have goals of going back. I want to put myself in the best position I could to go back to the All-Star Game. Playing with Jason Kidd, it doesn?t get better than him. I wanted to put myself in the best basketball position I could. It was almost a no-brainer to take the contract to come to New Jersey. What will you bring to the Nets? I bring first and foremost a lot of intangibles. I bring toughness to the game. The league has changed a lot since my rookie year and second year. The league has gotten soft. There are few players left like me. I always try to have my teammates back. To be able to get offensive rebounds and score when asked is what I bring to the table for this team. </div> Read More
He seems really happy be here in New Jersey and play alongside Jason Kidd. I think he is one of the missing pieces that we needed. Aslong as we can build a deeper bench, I could see us as possible contenders.
