Wally's World Completed

Wally Szczerbiak will have an extra bounce in his step as wife, Shannon and their 3 children finally get the opportunity to join him in town today...for good. This is the longest Wally has ever been separated from his wife and kids, and it’s been a tough adjustment for him. Wally says thank goodness for technology because he’s been able to communicate with the gang via videophone from his computer. Even with the technology it still doesn’t fill the void, especially with newborn, Max growing and changing everyday.

Wally admits Shannon knows him better than anyone in the world, so getting his “best friend and soul mate” back helps in so many ways. It’s the part of being a pro many of us forget at times. These guys are human too, with the same emotions, routines and family needs that we all have. Without them, even the most focused athlete is tested…so, Wally’s World is again whole!

As for tonight's game, LeBron is a go for the Nets. He was in good spirits this morning at the shoot around so hopefully he’ll be able to play without a lot of pain. Z mentioned yesterday he hasn’t seen LBJ smile as much lately, meaning the back has been causing him discomfort.

See you tonight on FSN at 6:30.
