3-Point Shot with Elton Brand:

Q: As one of the more veteran players on the team do you feel like you can help the younger guys develop into better players?

A: Without a doubt! I have been in the league a long time now and I have been through what all these guys are going through...not just the rookies but the guys that have been around a while too. I got the experience from doing it. I have been there. I got the t-shirt.

Q: Who were some of the veterans that helped you when you came into the league?

A: A lot of guys helped me when I came into the league. Toni Kukoc, Dickey Simpkins, Sam Cassell, Cuttino Mobley, to name a few. They taught me not just basketball skills but off the court skills too. They taught me how important rest and diet were to being successful in the NBA.

Q: When you are headed out for the evening are you more likely to be wearing jeans or slacks?

A: Slacks for sure. My favorite slacks are by Jared M. He does a lot of my clothes.
