<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In an interview with Inside Hoops, Jamaal Magloire says any time “you’re playing on a team that has a chance to contend for a world championship is always a good situation to be in.” Magloire adds that he has “an opportunity to start and play”and with Jason Kidd, he might regain All-Star status. Is there anything fans will be surprised about in his game? “My ability to be able to run up and down for lengths of time, is something I haven’t shown.”</div></p> Jamaal Magloire Interview</p> </p> And we will.</p>
I can't wait until he does his first "blind" dunk.</p> Seriously though, as long as he rebounds like he is capable of doing, I'll be one happy fan. His ability to hit the boards will be key this year.</p>
I've always liked Magloire. Humble guy, plays good, never complains. He's going to have a good year in Izod Arena. (is that correct? the name?) lol</p>
Magloire's own ability to learn the offense plays a lot into our chances as well. He adds a lot to this team, but unless he functions in a motion offense, and can replicate Twin's intangibles than its all for nothing since he won't get enough minutes on the floor. If he can, we've got an amazing starting 5 that compliments each other well. I just hope he realizes that their chances rest on him to an extent, and can beat out Ol' Sausage Lips.</p>

Either way, he stills plays his ass off out there, whether he's getting big minutes or not, so I see what's your saying.</p> And the name is correct, haha.</p> I doubt he'll make all-star status, as well. He's gotta play his ass off and average a good double double to do that, and that looks pretty doubtful to me....although I'm sure Kidd will raise his game.</p>
I was thinking of the charlotte / new orleans days. Never missed a game the year he made the allstar team. (i'm pretty sure on that one)</p>

People have been saying it'd be great for 18-22 minutes for Collins, so there should be plenty of time for Magloire to be on the floor in place of the 26-30 minutes Collins isn't on the floor.</p>
His rebounding history bodes well for Kidd leading us in rebounding another season. Saves his body, and I'm sure he'll reward Magloire with some sweet dimes.</p>
