An angry looking tattoo that reads FLINT, the hardscarbble Roger And Me motor city in Michigan where he grew up would indeed explain in part the physical prowess to play more than three years without a night off, the longest active streak in the National Basketball Association. But it's really upstairs where the best clue is found for his remarkable run, which continues tonight at the Air Canada Centre when the Raptors face the last-place Atlanta Hawks. The 27-year-old is among the most mentally strong players on the Raptors. "It's a job," the 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward said yesterday in defining his approach to an 82-game schedule. "I was told once that if you're out there on the court feeling good than something is wrong. There's always going to be some kind of little nagging injury. I won't feel 100%, but I give 110%." </div> Source
