The Questions with Marcus Camby
What was your welcome-to- the-NBA moment?
Putting up 29 points against the Knicks in the Garden [with Toronto as a rookie in 1996]. That's the best moment so far in my career.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
I shot an air ball at the free throw line as a rookie. My mom and my sisters got on me about it, heckling me.
Your favorite off-day activity?
Bowling. I like to bowl with Voshon [Lenard, a teammate]. I'm not that good. I probably have a 175 average. I don't have the spin. I've got a straight ball.
If I weren't in the NBA, I'd be ...
A school principal. That's something that I really want to do and am looking forward to doing after my [playing] days are over.
If I were commissioner for a day, I'd ...
Make the schedule a lot shorter. Eighty-two games is a long, long season. I'd cut it down to 65.
