Excellent read.
Josh Howard Will be Heard (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-23-118/Josh-Howard-Will-be-Heard.html)
Avery Johnson seems like a pretty intense guy. Is he a big yeller?
Avery expects the best. We're champions, and we know what to do. So he doesn't have to yell much. Only our rookies, and sometimes point guards, get yelled at much. He's not a big yeller.
He has that crazy voice.
That's the New Orleans coming out!
Anyone on the team impersonate him?
Oh yeah. Everybody does. We kind of take turns being the comedian. But Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Greg Buckner, and Devean George are the ones who are on it regular.
Do you do it in front of him?
No. But he knows we do it. We do it in front of the assistant coaches, and sometimes they can't keep it quiet.
Seems like a lot of teams that make it deep into the playoffs have a selflessness to them.
Like Detroit, right? You have got to have that selflessness. On our team, everybody checks their egos at the door. We look out for one another. Everyone knows their own role. None of these guys are like that at all.
