Matt CalkinsofThe Columbianwith a guaranteed-to-make-you-chuckleinterviewwith Portland Trail Blazers rookie point guard Armon Johnson... -------------------- Columbian: You took five shots in three minutes against the Cavs, and when Nate (McMillan) was asked about it after the game, he smiled and said "Armon’s going to get up shots." Are you trying to prove something out there, or are you just an aggressive player? Johnson: Man, I’ve been sitting on the bench the whole game! What you want me to do, go in there and pass it around? I know Coach didn’t put me in to just go in there and go through the motions, he wanted me to be productive. The last time I went into the game against Indiana, I didn’t take any shots, I just passed it. And when I went to the bench and asked him what he saw, he said he wanted me to be aggressive. I remembered that when I went into the game the other day. I didn’t want that to happen again. -------------------- And this genius... -------------------- Johnson: That phone records all of this? Columbian: Yes. Johnson (into phone): Yay yay! -------------------- -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com |Twitter
