The Questions with Brevin Knight/Bobcats Guard

What was your welcome-to-the-NBA moment?
Shaking David Stern's hand [on draft night in 1997]. Hearing my name called was awesome. The culmination of it was shaking this man's hand.

Your most embarrassing moment?
In practice this year Jahidi [White, a Bobcats center] fell. I went over to talk junk to him, and I slipped and hit the floor.

Your favorite off-day activity?
Golf. It doesn't use as much athletic talent, and it keeps your mind sharp. I love how peaceful it is.

If I weren't in the NBA, I'd be ...
Working at a Boys and Girls Club. My dad ran them in Newark, and I liked the impact they had on kids.

If I were commissioner for a day, I would ...
Not let a lockout happen. I would get both sides on the same page, with everyone able to prosper and keeping the integrity of our game. I'm not going to say it's easy. I know David Stern has a big challenge. But that would be one thing I wouldn't let happen.

Last Week

Knight, in his first game back from a sprained ankle, had 11 points in a 94-88 win over the Nuggets on Feb. 16.
