Back in Charlotte Baby! Really didn't see this one coming! A chance for redemption here in Charlotte. Hard to pass up. I decided to take my old number back too. I wouldn't feel right wearing Alonzo Mourning's old number! Larry explained the whole trade to me last night over the phone. I was watching the Heat play the Bulls last night when David Aldridge broke news of the Kobe trade. But I had no idea I was involved at that stage. Pretty darn exciting. And that was just for the fact that Kobe was traded.
After our chat a few weeks back I really hoped I would have the chance to play with Kobe again, but I didnt think it was a possibility. Larry said Kobe specifically asked for D West and I to be brought to Charlotte with him. He said our veteran experience and driven personalities are what's vitally needed to compete every night. I've really brought it every night since my comeback with Indiana, and I owe so much to Reggie Miller, Larry Bird and the Pacers. You said you'd do right by me and you have.
I want to thank the Pacers organisation and I look forward to facing those guys pretty soon again. I wish them well with Lance rejoining them. I don't have any hard feelings towards them, as they all really missed him up there.
Now onto Charlotte. I better get in touch with Kobe later. I got my photoshoot done, and he's flying in at noon from L.A. This trade will really send shockwaves around the NBA. The fan's get to see Kobe V LeBron a lot more often now, starting with our game 2 days from now in the Hive versus the Cavs! I have so much to ask Kobe, like what did Michael say?
He has so much respect and admiration for Michael, i'm sure the feeling is mutual. It's interesting that Michael want's to give Kobe a chance to equal his legacy of 6 championship titles.
From a roster point of view I will have to fight off guys like Wesley Johnson and Jeff Taylor (When he returns from suspension) for playing time. It'll be a tough task as Kobe has some chemistry with Johnson from the Lakers this year. I've also heard PJ Hairston has got game, so again, I'll need to work hard to maintain my minutes. But it's a challenge i'm ready for. I've prepared for this moment. I have gained experience the hard way riding the pine with the Lakers two title wins.
Better sort myself some accomodation out for the months ahead. Might look into my old house! I better let the other half know the plan of action, the family were due to fly over here and visit me this week in Indiana, but things have changed! Let's go Hornets, nice to be part of the return to the Hive!
