Marcus Camby has been one of my favorite players in the NBA over the last 10 years.

While most casual fans tend to associate scoring with quality, hardcore fans know that defense, teamwork, communication, passing and rebounding are absolutely necessary to be a successful team. These are the qualities that Marcus Camby brings to a team. Over the last 2 years we've seen many games where Camby leaves the floor with the Rose Garden chanting his name, not because of all the buckets he scored but because of all the rebounds he grabbed, all the second chances he created, all the charges he took, the dives to the floor for loose balls, the blocked shots that only Camby can not be called for a foul on, the instinctive alley-oops to Aldridge...

I wish Marcus Camby all the best in Houston.

Respect these years.
