I've been cut by so many teams, I don't even know who has cut me.
"Eric" ("Rick") "Daniel Brunson" (born June 14, 1972 in Syracuse, New York/Syracuse, New York) is a retired United States/American professional basketball player. He played 9 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and has also worked as an assistant coach for several teams. He played college basketball for Temple Owls men's basketball/Temple.
More Rick Brunson on Wikipedia.I've always wanted to be a coach; I never wanted to play basketball professionally. I happened to get lucky and made a career out of it, but my decision was to be a college coach when I was in college. But I got sidetracked with this.
We're all human beings and we all got feelings. I just felt good about Seattle. They brought me and my wife out there and took us to dinner. No one had ever done that for me before.
As a player you like to have a defined role and I am going in there knowing I'll be a backup and I don't have to worry about competing for a starting job or a job, period.
Am I ready? It's like going into the NBA draft ? who's ready? Who's considered ready? You just get in there and you learn on the run.
I attribute this to working hard and staying with it for all those eight years.
