Q&A with Neal on his All-Star experience

Written by Michael A. De Leon on .

I had a chance to talk to San Antonio Spurs guard Gary Neal after last week's New Jersey Nets game in San Antonio and ask him a few quick questions about his experience at All-Star Weekend.

Neal joined DeJuan Blair in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge. Here is what he had to say.

What was your All-Star weekend experience like?

It was fun. It was great to be a part of All-Star weekend and stuff like that. I mean I had a good time out there. I was able to make a couple of shots in the game and stuff like that. It was exciting.

I saw you using a floater out there. Any chance we'll see more of that with the Spurs?

Yeah, I mean I shoot floaters all the time. I have to, I'm not really athletic enough to dunk so I got a floater over the top of the big guys. That's something I've added to my game.

What did you think of DeJuan's performance for the sophomore team?

DeJuan played great. I think if the sophomores had won the game he would have been MVP, but they lost. I think he played good. I think he had a good game.

Neal played great as well, finishing the game with 20 points and four assists in just 26 minutes.

Thanks for commenting guys. Neal is indeed turning out to be quite the bargain for the Spurs.

I'm just glad we signed Gary Neal for 3 years at a bargain.

Gotta love Gary Neal he is a rookie but he plays and thinks like a veteran.

@Ramon I just talked to Neal on Saturday at the Nets game. I had other interviews lined up for the previous game that week and we were scheduling this post, we had some gameday stuff to post so this got pushed a bit. I usually try to get stuff out earlier, but with the staff we have, we are pushing out a lot of content and a lot of it is timely. Thanks for reading.
