Unbelievable. The best part about this quote you dug up is HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HARD HE WORKS IN THE GYM!! More fuel for the fire: http://www.insidehoops.com/james-interview-021606.shtml "I work hard in the offseason, I work hard in the season. And I didn't work hard just, I don't get repetitions in games and stuff for no reason at all. Because I believe that as hard as I practice, I can carry that over to games. I just bring my hard work to the basketball court. And I was thankful just to get an opportunity this year just to showcase who I was as a person and as a player." Here's a post contract interview: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-32-144/Talking-to-Mike-James.html "I mean, of course it feels weird not to be playing, but I'm excited for my teammates. We're winning. You can't ever rock the boat when things are happening with that that are positive for the team. I think that I still can play this game at a high level, and it's just a matter of me getting myself ready and focused, and whatever the team wants right now. This is the first year of my career I played cheerleader. If that's what I've got to do, that's what I've got to do. But then when my number is called, be ready. But other than that, if one way don't work, I'll think about another way and another game plan so I can get myself better so this won't happen ever again in my career." Sounds like a confident, hard working good teammate to me. Feel free to stick with your "idiot" theory, though.
