Man, I love it.
Quotes include:
-The 7-2 Trybanski, to no-one’s surprise, hit it off famously with a certain brand new Knicks assistant. “Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar) showed me the scoop shot,” said Cezary. “You know what I mean, that famous shot he has. The half-hook or something. I work with him for hours. I work with him for days. Now I go to California and use it. I’m going to show new things to Isiah and Lenny.”
-Super-point Stephon Marbury is watching the Knicks Summer League practice from the sidelines, relentlessly rooting little brother Zech on. “If the Pistons proved one thing, it’s that you don’t need two superstars such as Shaq (O’Neal) and Kobe (Bryant) on your team to win the NBA championship,” he says. “You can do it with defense. You can do it with chemistry. You can do it with team togetherness. And you can do it with “just” a lot of good players.”
-I’m going to work on everything, especially my post-ups, my mid-range shooting, and my defense,” said Johnson. “Right now, I’m known more for just dunking the ball or three-point shooting. That’s not enough. That’s too limited. I know that I’m capable of much more.”
-The cut-looking Sweetney is currently the owner of an entirely different body than he was at this time last year. “There was some personal stuff going on back then,” he says. “But it was more than that: when you first come into the NBA you don’t really know what it takes to succeed. You THINK you know, but you don’t. Now, with the first year behind me, I think I’m a lot more aware. I know I must be in the best physical shape possible. I need that extra explosiveness in my game.”
