You're on your own and you always travel, not just twice a week. And the speed of the game. It's a lot different." Alan Anderson "Just patiently waiting my opportunity to play consistently. Playing, like, 30-plus minutes my whole time in college and then starting off as a rookie, I've just got to be patient. I'm doing a good job." <u>What was your "Welcome to the NBA" moment?</u> Bernard Robinson In the preseason "we were ready to run on the court. All the rookies were up front and they said, 'Y'all run out first.' So us three rookies ran out, we turned around and nobody else ran out." Alan Anderson Against the Bucks. "Jamaal Magloire busted my lip. He gave me three stitches." <u>Have you become friends with your former rival?</u> Bernard Robinson "Definitely. Alan's my man. I knew him when he was at Michigan State, we knew each other well. We've developed a nice, tight bond as teammates." Alan Anderson "We were always cool. He kind of showed me the ropes a little bit as far as what to expect, and he told me to be patient for my time, and when my time comes run with it." <u>Do you two have a friendly rivalry?</u> Bernard Robinson "We talk trash, argue about our teams, say our team is better than his team." Alan Anderson "All the time. All we do is talk trash." <u>Prediction for the Jan. 25 U-M/MSU game?</u> Bernard Robinson "Michigan's going to win by eight to nine points." Alan Anderson "Oh, Michigan State's coming down with that. Definitely, all the way." <u>What do you think of your college team this season?</u> Bernard Robinson "We're playing great right now, they just have to continue to go from there and not hit a wall, especially in Big Ten season." Alan Anderson "They're doing real good. They started off slow in the Big Ten but people don't realize in all my four years there we started off slow. But they'll be fine." <u>Keep in touch with anyone from college?</u> Bernard Robinson "Definitely. I talk to Daniel Horton a lot and coach (Tommy) Amaker." Alan Anderson "All of them, coach (Tom) Izzo, all the coaches. Maurice Ager, Paul Davis, everyone."</div> Source
