<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Road games are often a homecoming for Nets center Mikki Moore. When the Nets played the Jazz on Monday night, it was the fifth time this season that Moore returned to a city where he played in the past. And it was perhaps his most enjoyable homecoming because of his respect for Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan. ?He?s one of the coaches that gave me my break to get back into the N.B.A.,? Moore said Monday morning. ?He didn?t put any regulations on me, just let me go out there and play. He?s one of the coaches that don?t care what college you went to or how much you?re getting paid, anything like that. If you play hard he?ll play you.? Moore, 31, is the prototypical N.B.A. journeyman, having played for seven teams (eight if you count training camp with the Minnesota Timberwolves). His statistics this season are modest (7.5 points and 5.2 rebounds), but he has found a niche with the Nets. He has started 17 times and set or tied his career high in scoring four times.</div> Source
