He can bring it on the break. He can pass it and he can shoot it. Boozer played against Scalabrine repeatedly in college, including during a hard-fought Elite Eight game in where Scalabrine made a pair of long 3s to keep the Trojans in it. In the distance, Scalabrine is hitting 3s and hooks over Noah and backup center Omer Asik.
Do It All for the Trojans in college. He was a great, great player. He still plays his heart out in practice and understands the nuances of the game as well as anyone else. He keeps himself ready. Thibodeau is one of the most intense head coaches in the league, willing to yank starters like Boozer or Noah if they get beat on defense or make a bad pass. His best came for the Nets in , when he scored 17 points — including a victory-sealing 3-pointer — in a triple-overtime playoff win over the Pistons.
Scalabrine began his career with a Nets team that made back-to-back trips to the NBA Finals and has spent seven years at the top of the basketball world with the Celtics and Bulls; going to a non-contender would be a significant step down. And that's probably where all this love came from. And when he is able to hit the three-pointer, that just makes it even more the better. It's not just the looks that make him so lovable; for someone who doesn't have much to brag about, Scals sure knows how to run his mouth.

That lasted through , but then once we won the championship, I fully embraced it. We gotta give the people what they want! I continued that approach after that and did the same thing in Chicago. I like it. Recently, though, players such as center Robert Williams and forward Semi Ojeleye have become fan favorites despite spending the majority of their time on the bench.
