http://tinyurl.com/269m9ob When he heard the accusation that notorious trash-talker Kevin Garnett had called Charlie Villanueva "a cancer survivor" during a game earlier this month, Tyson Chandler felt nothing but empathy -- for both players. Over the years Chandler has berated opponents during games and felt awful for them afterward. "I remember running past guys in the tunnel after [games] and saying, 'I apologize, it's nothing personal, I'm just trying to win out there and please don't ever take anything that I do out there personal,'" said the Mavericks 28-year-old center. One run-in with Portland center Joel Przybilla two seasons ago was especially disturbing. "I'd read that his grandmother was upset and said some things about me," said Chandler, who had been ejected and suspended one game for elbowing Przybilla in the neck. "So the next time I went up to him and I apologized for that whole situation and I said, 'My temper got the best of me, and let your grandmother know that I send my sincere apology.'" The Mavs couldn't say nicer things about Chandler since they acquired him in a five-player deal last July that sent Erick Dampier to Charlotte, where he was waived two months later. (Dampier last week signed with Miami.) "[Tyson's] one of the best guys I've been around to have on a team, just as a team guy to support the guys," said Dallas coach Rick Carlisle. "He's always keeping everybody going. I think he's one of the more popular guys on our team. He's a tremendous person." Carlisle credits the 7-foot-1 Chandler with helping to elevate the Mavs' defense from No. 12 in field-goal percentage last season (46.4 percent) to No. 4 so far this year (43.2 percent). Through Monday, Chandler is averaging a near double-double of 9.2 points and 8.9 rebounds -- a notable recovery after he missed 68 games over the past two seasons with foot injuries that ultimately rescinded his 2008-09 midseason trade from New Orleans to Oklahoma City. After being dealt to the Mavericks last summer, Chandler helped the U.S. win a gold medal at the FIBA World Championship in Turkey even. Before and after practices he worked with Mavs athletic trainer Casey Smith -- who was also a trainer for Team USA -- to help him recover from his injuries. Now that Chandler's back to playing 27.5 minutes a game, fans are especially surprised when they meet him. "I always get parents bringing their children up to me and afterward going, 'Wow, I really didn't expect that from you -- I was nervous about bringing my family,'" said Chandler. "And I'm like, 'Why, why would you be nervous?' They'll say, 'I just see you always frowned-up and snarling and screaming out there on the court.' I'm like, 'No, no, no, no, no, no! That's just competitive nature coming out.' I have children myself and I love people in general, so I'm a totally different person off the court." Yet, Chandler's own family doesn't understand his temper. "A lot of times my grandmother has called me after the game,'' said Chandler. "Or I'll talk to my mom and she'll be like, 'You know you can read lips on the camera.'" It's not the first time they've had this conversation. "I remember a game in junior high against one school that was stacked, and I was the only player on my team," he said. "They ended up beating us and I was just so frustrated because my teammates weren't at the same talent level as I was and couldn't help me win. So I went to the sideline after the game and I was screaming and I grabbed one of the chairs and then threw it on the floor. And then my mom came out of the stands and took me outside and said if I ever displayed terrible sportsmanship like that again she would never let me play this game." That's why Chandler can see the recent dispute from the view of Garnett, who says his comment was misinterpreted by Villanueva, who has no hair on his body as a result of alopecia. "I love [KG], I love what he does," said Chandler. "I look at it this way: He gives you his heart and soul every single night out there, and if it takes him to pump himself up and do whatever he has to do, I'll take that rather than him collecting a check and not giving you a great effort. That's the other side of it -- the guys you feel like are not giving you as much as they can. So I'll take him screaming and talking and pumping his chest and doing whatever it takes you to do to give what you got. I've admired him and looked up to him before my career started." Chandler has come to accept that bad behavior is the smoke that comes naturally with his fire. "I try to control my words and what I say out there," he said. "But I don't control my emotions because I feel like it's my passion, and I'm not going to hold it inside. I feel like its encouraging and uplifting to my teammates as well as the fans out there watching and knowing that I'm giving it everything I've got." That means he must accept the consequences. "I think everybody thinks I'm pretty much of an [expletive]," he said. "Until they get an opportunity to spend some time with me and understand me." Chandler认为KG之前对CV说的那些只是球场上情绪的表现 Chandler说他在球场上时也经常表现出自己情绪 但是这些行为与言论并不是针对球员 他说他在场上比赛骂完人後 有时候比赛结束或下次遇到他会跟对方说 他并不是故意的希望对方别介意 像是有次比赛他对拓荒者 结果他拐子拐到大P的脖子 事後Chandler看到大P的阿妈发表了一些对他不满的言论 Chandler就向大P道歉 有时候比赛完家长带小孩来看Chandler 家长都会说我真不知道该不该带我小孩来看你 Chandler问为什麽 家长都说因为你在场上总是臭脸 然後感觉情绪字眼满天飞 怕对小孩有不良影响 Chandler回答 不不 这只是球场上情绪的表现 我有自己的小孩 我平常对人不会这样 我离开球场就是个完全不同的人 不过Chandler的家人就不了解他的脾气 比赛完後Chandler阿妈与妈妈经常打来 他妈妈有时候会说 你知道吗? 我看唇语可以看出你在说什麽 Chandler在中学时有次比赛队友打不好 他在场边相当气愤 就抓起一个椅子往场内摔 他母亲走过来对他说 如果你以後在有这样情绪化表现 我就不让你打比赛 Chandler说他欣赏KG球场上的贡献 现在Chandler会尽量控制他的言语 不过他说他不想控制他的情绪 因为他认为这是他在球场上一种表现方式 每场比赛他都会表现出他最好的一面 然後激励队友 --
