from Ole http://www.ole.clarin.com/jsp/v4/pag...fecha=20060726
rough translation:
You've said in many interviews it was a positive season. ¿How do you consider that if you played only a few minutes?
—Maybe someone will say ''I would have stayed in europe, you messed up''. But I have no regrets and I take it as a year of learning. Now I know how everything works, from the rules to the play. Also, you have to remember I came to the champs. Everyone had a role and I was the 5th big. Only when Horry got injured did I get to play 15 min. I accepted the conditions, worked hard and learned a lot
—¿Was there a difficult moment?
—No, I knew from the start the team doesnt revolve around me, not like in Europe
—But you thought you would play more, right?
—I didnt think in terms of minutes because no one can guarantee that.
—Others might have reacted different, with anger even.
—I was pacient and I worked. I improved my shot. I didn't lose a year, I improved and am now a better player.
—¿What did you learn in terms of the play?
—That its all so fast that you cant think. You have to execute, its all more impulsive.
—It looked like your impulse was to defer to the team.
—Well yes, I had to change. I wanted to find the way to stay on the court and so I concentrated on defense.
—¿Doesnt it hurt you to play different from what you know?
—Yes, the real change was playing more facing the hoop. In europe I played for seven years with my back to the basket. Now, with Duncan inside, I had to go out more and its different.
—¿Would you handle another year like this one?
—I've learned to cross bridges when I get to them. If that happens, I'll see. I'm a grown man and if its no good, I'll leave. It all depends. I'm comfortable and I trust I'll get chances to play.
—Nesterovic and Mohammed departures open a window for you.
—Well yes, so it seems. I havent spoken with Popovich. If its true, I'll be under pressure to respond.
What I meant before about the Spurs not choosing players to fill specific roles based upon their strengths.Yes, the real change was playing more facing the hoop. In europe I played for seven years with my back to the basket. Now, with Duncan inside, I had to go out more and its different.
Sounds like Fabricio certainly meets the Spurs' "character" requirement.
Very good answers from Fabricio. Seems like a very intelligent man.
Just great. They'll probably force Butler to exclusively face up to the basket, too.
I've long dismayed the Spurs have no interest in taking advantage of Oberto's skills, including passing out of the post and spotting cutters.
A typical Furry Body fest thread
cant wait till his traded
What exactly was wrong with what I said?A typical Furry Body fest thread
If we have no room for Scola, because he likes the ball in the post, then why should we expect Butler to be allowed to do the same?
Yeah, put Duncan on the bench so Oberto can go get 5-6 assists a game.
Don't forget, Mr. Body sez Javtokas for the full MLE!
Well, you didn't have a problem with that idea when you were ranting all over this forum about us not breaking the bank for Javtokas.
Ah, the moron is back. Fails to recall the discussions were never about breaking the bank for Javtokas. I suggest he goes back and reviews them. And I'm slightly irritated I ever blew so much time talking to an imbecile.
The point about Oberto on the block - off the bench, whenever Duncan's not in the game, whenever in general - is why not test players out with their God-given abilities, instead of constantly cramming square pegs into round holes? If we're going to have a motion offense, why not try to give it a different look?
But that's not good for the resident Aggie. He's just a contrarian.
Looks like Duncan is a center anyway. At least on offense.
Or start signing round pegs.
So Pittsnogle > Javtokas.
Understood.
What a prick...the interviewer just keeps baiting him. Hoping for something quoteworthy.
Oh Boy!
Probably Sure
Javtokas sucks
I for one am stunned there is no Bowen quote here.
why is this guy still on the team? we are actually payin him 2.5mill a season to cheer on the team from the bench??
silver dancers > orberto+sean marks
Go Oberto!
POP ISN´T STUPID
