Being A Pro

Peja on his status with the Kings:

``I'm still standing behind the words I said in August, but I am professional,'' Stojakovic said. ``I have a contract with the Kings, two years, and I'm going to honor that. It just wouldn't be fair for the city, the organization and for my teammates, who I respect. I'm just going to go out there and play basketball.''

It's nice to hear somebody say something like this. It's a sad indictment of today's players that this is a rare occurrence. You don't have to be silent and not speak your mind. You just have to do what is expected of you, and that is exactly what he is doing. More like this please.
