Hornets Hype

Tyson Chandler’s official site posted this season wrapup video interview the other day, which I thought I’d point out in case people hadn’t checked it out yet. It’s a two-parter. You know I love me some TC6, so I of course watched the entire thing.

Some Highlights:

• When asked about David West’s facial hair, he says something to the effect of, no matter how successful an All Star he becomes, David is always going to be David. And show up places dressed in all black, jeans, and a hat, because it’s just what he does. Which I thought was funny because it always cracks me up that, no matter where D West is photographed, he’s never wearing a color. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a tie either.
• Tyson says as the season goes on, you tend to stop working on your game as hard because you’re more focused on other things, and he’s looking forward to getting back to that in the summer/fall. Which I found interesting because in the beginning season he had a little turnaround shot that he tried less and less frequently as the season (in fact, he busted it out in one of the last playoff games and we were like, “Whoa, haven’t seen that in awhile!”). Now, it wasn’t a highly accurate shot, and maybe they just decided to focus on the CP3 alley oop as his main offensive weapon, but it could also have been that he wasn’t getting the time to work on it as the season got busier, like he said. If he could work on adding that shot consistently to his game, TC would be dominant next season. (This is my thought here, obviously, not his.)
• His thoughts about playing against Tim Duncan (“He never says anything”).
• He kind of thinks Celtics, but says he’s learned never to count Kobe out. (And the interview starts out with a great story he tells about him vs. Kobe in the Lakers game here in March… as opposed to Duncan never saying a word, Kobe yaps constantly.)
