    Q&A With Ricky Davis

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">What's the biggest misconception about you?

    There are a lot of mixed feelings out there about me. I tried to start something new in Boston, and hopefully the new Ricky D changed minds about some stuff. I'm a good person on and off the court and a fun guy to be around.

    Does it bother you that you haven't fully shaken the rap that you're selfish?

    A little bit. That just makes me go out and work even harder. You ask all my teammates about me. It's kind of tough to be selfish when you're leading the team in assists. It's funny. If they don't watch you, they'll never know.
    Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen to complement him.

    The Wolves have been trying for years to find Kevin Garnett his Scottie Pippen. Are you that guy?

    I can be it. Like Pippen and Jordan, we'll go to war together on and off the court. It's going to be fun. When he needs help, I'll be the person he can go to. And when I need help, he'll be the person I can go to. We'll be a great 1-2punch.

    Wally Szczerbiak was extremely popular with Wolves fans. Is it important to you to be embraced by the fans the way Wally was?

    It's important. Wally was here seven years. He's a great guy, and a great guy in the community. Hopefully I can take up the slack and be the same type of person he was.

    You called it a dream come true to play with Garnett. Was it really a dream of yours?

    Oh, definitely. To play with a guy like that. He's one of the top two players in the NBA.

    Who's the other one?

    Tim Duncan. It used to be Shaq, too. But (Shaquille O'Neal) kind of fell off a little bit. Kevin is there. He's up there.</div>

    Ricky is amazing offensively, and I think the triple-double thing that he did when he threw a rebound to himself so he could achieve it is the only reason he's getting the rep of being selfish. Ricky is one of the best offensive players in the League and being 'selfish' has nothing to do with it.
