Rudy Gay's really looking forward to guarding LeBron tonight.
Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay sat down for the first time in nearly two hours following practice. He stared straight ahead and answered questions as if in some sort of trance. Gay's state of mind had nothing to do with physical fatigue -- but the mental wear of thinking about his next defensive assignment seemed to already be taking a toll.
"He's on another level, man," Gay said. "There are only a couple people on that level in this league."
That next-level player Gay spoke of is LeBron James, who engineers the Cleveland Cavaliers' locomotive that will ride through FedExForum tonight.
"I'm just going to try and use my quickness to try to do what I can to contain him," Gay said. "You can't stop him."
"Just being around him and from talking to him, the thing I can respect is he's never lost that hunger to get better," Gay said. "You've got to respect a guy like that. He's on top of his game."

What a great way pf puting it. To be the best you have to guard the best. I really like gay's game and now I know I like his attitude. Hard not to root for a guy like that...when he is not playing us ofcourse.
