nathan jawai??

Geez, the big fella did himself no favours with some of his comments. No doubt some guys were rude to him and do see him as a threat - but you can't whinge about it in the media - it just gets your team mates backs up and makes them respect you less. Also, the author has said Jawai hinted that he didn't think much of the D-league and then the last couple of lines: I got my own room, not like the others, Jawai said. I didnt share. So I still got treated like I was in the NBA. The author has basically just made him look like a big sook who is overweight and thinks he's too good to slum it down in the D-league. Not good. After that article, Nate has got a lot of work to do to repair his image with guys in Idaho and Toronto. Its a tough learning curve for a young guy who has basically had a very sheltered existence in Queensland most of his life. Hope he can turn it around.

I think with Jawai, he was probably just speaking his mind when pointing out what he didn't like about the D-league. Unfortunately, this is not what alot of people like to hear (Americans love to hear how everything is great). They may not understand that an Australian may not be used to a league where everyone is basically out for themselves, especially Nate being young as he is it was probably quite a shock to the system.

Americans seem to have a different way of looking at things, Nate's comment of "They wouldn't talk to you. If I said hello, they'd just look away. Just being rude. It didn't bother me one bit, though." is regarded as demanding immediate respect by that author. This is not true; it's just a culture thing, in Australia regardless of what you've done on the basketball court, most people can at least be somewhat civil to you...

Big Nate will get his chance...needs to be patient. At least he is signed for next season as well. With a full pre-season under his belt and playing Summer League, we can expect to see more of him next season.
