im sure the first time he airmails a couple passes and gets his shot blocked 3 times in a row, he'll fit right in.he has big shoes to fill
Peeps need to quit bagging on Muhammad. I saw him help lead the Kentucky Wildcats to their 1997-98 NCAA championship in the Alamodome.
He was was solid player on that squad and he has been a solid pro player. He's a of a lot better than Rasho at the five.
"Malik", is not American either.
But the names made no difference. Who cares?They are here not here for their "screen names" but to play.
I like Nazr on fastbreaks. let's see what he can do in S.A.
welcome Nazr!
is this trade means Scola is IN next season? just wonderin'
Welcome Nazr. Top pics, FSP.

Nazr Mohammed Press Conference Quotes
The newly acquired Nazr Mohammed has made it to San Antonio and after taking a physical, stopped by to talk to the press about his whirlwind trip to Texas.
On being in San Antonio – It’s a great feeling. I’m happy to be a part of a winning organization and I’m just looking forward to getting actually getting started.
On being traded – Actually it was a total shock. I was in the hotel preparing to take my pre-game nap to play against Philadelphia and my agent gave me a call and I thought he was joking at first. Then Isiah (Thomas) called shortly after and told me that he’s traded me.
On being traded to one of the best teams in the league – I’m very fortunate because I’m coming to one of the best teams in the league. I just want to go out there and help anyway I can.
On being back in San Antonio – It was a great experience to win a (NCAA) national championship here and hopefully I’ll win an NBA championship here. I’m just trying to come in and do whatever the coaching staff wants me to do.
On transitioning to a new team – I’m just going to try to fit in wherever I can and rebound and defend because those are two things you can do and be selfish at and still help the team.
On playing for Coach Pop – I’m excited to get the chance to play for him. He has a reputation similar to coach (Larry) Brown as far as knowing the game and demanding hard work.
On the assets he brings to the team –My defense and rebounding. I fell that I’m one of the better rebounders in this league and I feel that at the center position I’m as good as most centers or better than most centers in this league. I’m just going to go out there and just try to fit in and don’t mess anything up!
On the shock of the trade – Even though I knew this was a crazy business, I didn’t picture this, I didn’t think it would happen, but then again I never thought I would play in New York either. This is a pleasant surprise.
On liking Mexican food – I do like Mexican food , but my Spanish isn’t good at all!

There's audio and video on Spurs.com as well.
don't worry Nazr, Manu can help you on that
..if he is excited then I'm
hey, what's Nazr's number? anybody?
"It was a great experience to win a (NCAA) national championship here and hopefully I’ll win an NBA championship here."
oh, eh!! that's a very ballin' co-incidence!!
The one problem this trade might impose, we really dont have that high energy player off the bench anymore, too bad we couldnt get a guy like jerome williams from the Knicks
Problem is, you know who the last person was who could have made that statement?
Good at ude to have, like him already.I’m just going to go out there and just try to fit in and don’t mess anything up!

Hmmm I don't think Mercer or DA played for the NCAA le in San Antonio.
You're right. I was just thinking about the championship part.
I guess Ron said that joining the Nets this season then.

It's just me, but I'm guessing he's pretty pissed.
Yep, you're right:

Maybe we need to get Padgett or Magloire.
I don't even think Mohammed was a starter on that team...I think Magilore was.
I'd know for sure if I even remotely paid attention to college hoops.
And there's no need for you and Chump to make note of me being right...that's like saying sex is good or the sky is blue...
Or Barry will play < 10mpg the rest of the season...that's like saying sex is good or the sky is blue...
Or Noel Felix couldn't get a job in "Euroleagues"...
Magliore came off the bench. Mohammed was a starter. They just wore Utah down.
Or "I don't even think Mohammed was a starter on that team"....
Barry is going to play more than 10 mpg the rest of the season, to say otherwise is asinine, we need his shooting and the team is better with him on the floor chump.
I wholeheartedly agree with you.Barry is going to play more than 10 mpg the rest of the season, to say otherwise is asinine, we need his shooting and the team is better with him on the floor chump.
Okay, you guys made me go out and find backup support for my memory.

Kentucky's bench comes to the rescue
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Kentucky found the winning edge for another national le right on its own bench.
Reserves Heshimu Evans, Cameron Mills, and Jamaal Magloire gave the Wildcats the spark they needed to overcome a 10-point halftime deficit in a 78-69 victory over Utah in the NCAA championship game Monday night.
http://slam.canoe.ca/1998MarchMadness/mar31_amo.html
Twelve games into the season -- and two losses -- Smith inserted Nazr Mohammed into the starting lineup in place of Jamaal Magloire at center to add more offensive punch. Mohammed went on to make All-Southeastern Conference while Magloire was a reliable backup.
we all talking like Nazar made spurs trade rose o I think we should give this guy a chance
