When I left here 5 years ago, I was convinced that I had played my last game as a Grizz. In the NBA , you just don't have second tours with the same team. It is very rare. Whenever I played the Grizzlies as a Rocket, I had always received a great ovation from the fans in Memphis. There were always numerous signs that said "Come back Shane!!!!!" It made me laugh, but at the same time, it made me feel great to know that I had touched so many people in my 5 years in Memphis. I did not know for sure if I was going to be traded from the Rockets. I thought there was a good possibility, but I just didn't know. I was very nervous the entire day. I paced around my house and played with my dogs, just trying to waste time and make it past the 2 pm trade deadline. I checked my computer every 10 minutes to see if I had been traded and must have checked my phone at least 100 times!!!!!!! At 1 :45, I had not heard anything about a trade. I had started to believe that I was not going to be traded. At 1:55, pm, 5 minutes before the trade deadline, I checked the computer one last time. In big headlines, the screen read: Shane Battier traded to the Memphis Grizzlies. I could NOT believe it. My initial reaction was shock and then I started to think of all the things I would need to do before I left. To make matters worse, my wife Heidi and son Zeke, were not even home. They were returning from Detroit where they came to visit me as the Rockets played the Detroit Pistons. When I called her, she didn't even believe me. I was sad because I would not be able to play any more games with my teammates, my friends. Guys like Chuck Hayes, Luis Scola, Chase Budinger, my guys. We have been through so many battles together. I was sad that I would not finish what we started and tried to make one last playoff push. I had 5 wonderful years in Houston. I won a lot of games there and played with some great players. To know that this part of my life is over makes you a tad sad. I want to thank all of my friends and fans in Houston for their unwavering support of me over the last 5 years. I will miss these relationships, but am a better person because of my 5 years in Houston. It was only until my phone exploded with text messages and emails from my friends in Memphis telling me how excited they were that I was coming back to Memphis, did I start to look forward to coming back to the Grizzlies. People were genuinely excited and it really brought a smile to my face. When I left Memphis 5 years ago, I was always regretful that I was not able to win a playoff game for the Grizzlies despite making the playoffs 3 times. I left Memphis 0-12 in the playoffs. This did not make me happy. I am so excited to get a chance to lead the Grizzlies back to the playoffs and win some games!!!! There is nothing better than settling unfinished business. There is no question I will miss my friends in Houston, but my friends in Houston are excited for a potential playoff run in Memphis. I am thankful for my 5 years in Houston. It is time for a new adventure! Stay tuned! SB -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.240.74.118
