Bobcats’ Henderson dealing with rookie life
Posted by GameSetMatch on 19th November 2009
IT IS a rite of passage with NBA teams. The veterans always have something for the rookies to do. Bring the coffee. Buy the doughnuts. Deliver the newspapers.
Or, in the case of Charlotte Bobcats rookies Gerald Henderson and Derrick Brown, wear various colorful, sometimes sparkly, backpacks.
“The sillier the better,” Bobcats coach Larry Brown was saying before last night’s game against the 76ers. “They got Gerald a North Carolina one.”
They even got Bobcats guard Ray Felton, a former Tar Heel, to sign it. That would be Gerald Henderson, of Duke.
“He told me he burned it,” Brown said, laughing.
“That’s what I told him,” said Henderson, the onetime Episcopal Academy star. “That’s what I should have done. It’s somewhere long lost in my apartment. Now, they gave me a pink one. That’s OK. That’s better than Carolina. Anything is better than that.”
