<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">BobcatsBasketball.com went one-on-one with the newest member of the Bobcats after a recent practice: What?s the best thing about being an NBA player? Getting to play a game you love and get paid for it. What?s the worst thing about being an NBA player? Definitely the travel -- going from coast to coast in different time zones and staying in hotels every night. What was your ?Welcome-to-the-NBA? moment? Playing with Shaq and Kobe under coach Phil Jackson (with the Lakers). You see these guys on TV growing up and then to actually play on the same team with them. You?re star struck at first, but after a while you get used to them. How was playing for Phil Jackson? I really enjoyed playing for him my first two years. He called me when I got traded and wished me good luck and told me I was finally getting my chance to go out there and play and not to waste my talent. I?m really glad I got a chance to learn under him. What has been your most embarrassing moment? As a rookie, your first game they make you head the line going out of the locker room onto the court. I ran out there all excited and everybody else stayed back, so I was out there all by myself. Which player do you wish you could play with before you retire? I?ve played with both Shaq and Kobe, so other than that Tim Duncan. He makes everybody around him better. What is your favorite game other than basketball? I?m a big football fan. I love the Kansas City Chiefs even though we?re having a down year, but we?ll be good next year. Are you a fan of video games? I?m a big fan. That?s what I do in my spare time. When I?m not at the gym, I?m usually at home playing ?Halo 2? and I just got a new game, ?Prince of Persia?. So, I?m digging video games on my Xbox. I?m trying to get Xbox Live so that I can play with all my old teammates, Luke (Walton) and all those guys back in L.A. </div> Source
