Asked what it is about the FedExForum that brings out his best, Shabazz Napier says: "... I think it's just the way Memphis plays defense."

Shabazz Napier on Kilpatrick: "He cares so much about that MVP. ... I don't care about it. If he wants it, he can have it."

If these are even legit...

There's nothing really wrong with the first one...He likes Memphis' defense for his style of play...

In regards to the second one...I'd be curious to see what the question was that led to that...I've never heard this type of thing from Shabazz before. It wouldn't surprise me if the lead in question had something about someone saying Kilpatrick deserved it and Shabazz didn't.

Context or the full line of questions would be nice...

Time for a change to the title of this thread eh? Last thing we need tonight is a UC fan having a thread started titled "Come on UCONN" lol.

Did you miss the part where SK said the votes for POY didn't go the way they should have gone? Implying he should have won. The fact that he then went on to collect a sportsmanship award

I did miss that. Where did he say that? I think you're full of it. The only person who has said anything about SK winning the award was Cronin, which shouldn't be surprising.

Yeah. Link or it didn't happen.

Scroll down to the 3rd article or so. It wasn't bad, he just said basically they chose the wrong guy. But don't get all upset about Napier downplaying the POY when Kilpatrick added his 2 cents. It's no big deal really for both of them. Harmless comments, I don't blame SK at all for saying that.
