If we can ask questions now here's two from me: What's the biggest bollocking you ever personally got from Rob and what was it for and what did you reply? And what's the biggest bollocking you ever saw him give the team or other players and what was it for ? 1. Generally I got yelled at a lot. Rob and I are very close, couldn’t have more respect for another human being. But I’m competitive and so is he. He is also very fiery so things def got heated often. Worst was prob second time we played the Spanish team and i was Mad at new teammates and they way we were playing and basically he let me have it. We had a meeting next day and all gets put aside. I’m not a big back talker so not really 2way. Normally he would yell at me and I would just continue acting like a prick rather than talking back 2. And prob his top 3-4 ever are all with me... I threw a basketball at one of my teammates and he wasn’t pleased with that |

Several in one go
Who did you hate in the league? Not hate playing against, just physically hated.
Why did you never leave the BBL to challenge yourself?
If you didn't play for Leicester and could have your same BBL career at another club, which club would you choose?
Which away venue was the worst, e.g. worst hospitality, worst food, worst court, worst staff.
Pick your starting 4 (you're the 5th) from opposition players only to win the playoffs.

And how highly did you rate Eric Robertson as a team mate. There are some on here who believe having Eric in the Riders squad held back some of our younger GB players who could do what he could do or more? |

Remember one time Rowe answered back in the middle of the game. Rob told him to sit down, he’s done and will never play here again. He didn’t play rest of the game but next next he just showed up to practice never mentioned it again and all was fine lol |

No one hates anyone to be honest. It’s a good struggle in the game but after all good... also hard to hate anyone when we are kicking everyone’s butt! |

Forgot to answer your other ones We had a good situation in Leicester. I liked the coach, liked the guys, my wife had a decent job and we were settled hard to leave that... I would have scored more points At another bbl club for sure, but loved the winning culture we created at Leicester Leeds Was worst, floor was awful Too 4 opposition: 1. Justin Robinson 2. Andre Jones 3. Me 4. Mike Tuck 5. Darius Defoe |

What were the best bits and worst bits about playing with Neil Watson Same question with regards Drew Sullivan 1. Neil: great point guard, amazing court vision and a really good team mate. Honestly we had a lot of fun together and won... biggest negative was that he didn’t give me the ball more 2. Drew: all time player team mate and friend. We had incredible time playing together, winning together and having some beers together. Worst thing was playing with a guy you know could beat you up... take my chances against anyone else |

Yeah I watch almost all riders games and get back up to Leicester to watch a bit... but things are busy down here so don’t always get out to Stratford |

Massive boost to our season Worst: Mike Rodriguez.... the guy came off the plane with a broken foot lol also billy reader wasn’t a great one. All the reports said he was 6’10” he showed up and was 6’7” 35 pounds over weight and couldn’t catch |
