Watching Stoudemire drenched in sweat, Marcus Camby thought of his former self.
They were so alike.
In New York, Camby had gone through a similar phase. He trained tirelessly just to get better, to help the team secure victories.
So seeing Stoudemire like this, Marcus Camby scoffed with disdain, "Huh, fool!"
Everything you're doing is meaningless, such intense training is foolish.
Marcus Camby closed the gym door and turned to walk to the parking lot, wanting to leave before the other teammates arrived.
He didn't want to integrate into the team, nor the game.
He just wanted to collect his paycheck on time.
Playing basketball, why exert yourself like that?
A day later, Warriors vs. Mavericks G2, Dallas turned the tables in Oakland.
In this game, Dirk Nowitzki finally found his rhythm, scoring 23 points with a 46% shooting percentage. Along with Shaq's 34 points and 17 rebounds, the Mavericks won 108-99, tying the series score.
