I sent 2 questions in...let's see if they go through. I might only be around until 2:30 as I have to head to a class around then.
Hey Sean, Quick question about the All-Star Game. Immediately after the game was over, the cameras caught you having, shall we say, an "animated" discussion with what looked like LaMarcus Aldridge. Would you care to comment on what the disagreement was about? Did it have to do with that fact that you actually played defense against him and Brandon Roy? Thanks!
Yeah that little interaction was quite disappointing. He did seem to have fun a lot of the game... and it looked to me as though he was constantly trying to find a good spot to go for a monster block. Hopefully it was just competitive spirit getting the better of him.
bummer, it was real short. they answered my 2nd question too. here's the full transcription: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Anders (Danbury): Hey Sean, first off I want to say congrats on a great rookie year! How are you dealing with the Jason Kidd trade rumors? Is is distracting? My second question is, how is it being a rookie? You get a lot of pranks pulled on you? Keep up the great work sean williams: First off, the JKidd situation. I learned alot from him, how to be professional. This is a business and you can tell by how he handles his business. He's been a great leader and a good example to me. As for my rookie season, I'm really enjoying it and every day I'm trying to learn and get better. Parth (Edison) : Hey Sean! Which basketball player was your favorite while growing up? sean williams: My favorite growing up? I'd have to say KG. He looked like me bodywise, although I couldn't play like him at all. But he proved that a guy his size, and my size, could really play ball. Frank (Atlanta): What moment so far in your amazing rookie season has been the most memorable? sean williams: All-Star Weekend. I had a lot of fun, playing with those guys in the Rookie-Soph game and then the whole weekend, meeting all these people. It was a great experience. Jose : Hey man, sweet dunk at the rookie game. Did you plan that ahead of time or was it a spur of the moment thing? sean williams: I hadn't been planning it at all. I told all my friends I was gonna have fun, just like I used to in the Rec League when I first started. I saw those guys in front of me and in the spur of the moment that's what I came up with. It just happened. Dumpy (here, there, everywhere): Hey Sean, Quick question about the All-Star Game. Immediately after the game was over, the cameras caught you having, shall we say, an "animated" discussion with what looked like LaMarcus Aldridge. Would you care to comment on what the disagreement was about? Did it have to do with that fact that you actually played defense against him and Brandon Roy? Thanks! --Dumpy sean williams: Ha-ha (Laughing). I was just showing brotherly love to my friend from Texas. Bayonne: Sean, did you play Andre 3000's stunt double in the new Will Ferrell movie Semi-Pro? Cause man you can pass for twins! sean williams: Wow! I have lots of respect for Andre 3000, he's a great rapper. But man, besides that, it is what it is. I get lots of jokes about looking like Andre 3000. I can't complain, but back in the day, when they were really hot, that worked for me, with the ladies. I looked like him, but just a bit taller. Al (Boston): Sean - we miss you at BC. Wish you never left. What was the best thing about the college? sean williams: College was a great experience. It helped prepare me for my career. I had a great coach, Al Skinner and I owe him the world. He helped me become a man and it really helped me. Jose (Newark): Who is the better dunker? You or Vince Carter? sean williams: I can't even argue that! I'll never be able to anything Vince ever did! But today, right now, maybe I have him! Not sure he'd admit that. But, let me stress...no cofusion, I will never, ever be able to what Vince did dunking the ball. Ever. Ben (Paris, France): Hi Sean. I'd like to know what does this Black History Month represents to you and why is it important for the kids in the US? sean williams: It's great to take a month out of the year to acknowledge African-Americans. Hopefully it can be an educational tool, for African-American and all Americans, so we can learn and have a better future together. Bayonne2: What's up Sean? Appreciate your time. What nickname do you prefer: Swat or Area-51? Or both? "Swat just knocked that ball out of Area 51 and into outer space!" -Sean (my middle name is William) G. sean williams: I love both. They're both hot. Also, though put Elastic Man in the coffin. I'm not Stretch Armstrong. alex, vestal: YO SEAN WILLIAMS aka EL SWATO"... you have become my favorite player on the nets... your athletiism and effort is unbeliveable and i cant thank you enough for the great moments you brought me this year. But anyways.. where do you get your inspiration from? thanks sean... by the way keep that go-t goin its sick sean williams: I just want to make my Moms happy. I get it all from my family. Roselle: Hey SWill! Do you think that the Nets can be the Giants of the NBA and upset the whole league and win the Championship? That would be great man sean williams: It definitely would be great. We just need to keep working. Like they say, Any Given Sunday. We got a new core coming in and hopefully we can make the best of it. sean williams: Thanks for chatting with me. I really appreciate it and thanks to all of you for supporting me and the Nets.</div>

Wow, that's pretty good. I forgot Lamarcus was from Texas. You think he was just BSin there, and was really pissed a Lamarcus? Or you think he really was just joking?
