Where did the knee-high sock look come from?
JT: It came from a yearbook picture of my father. I was thumbing through the book and saw him in his high school varsity basketball picture with high socks on. From that point on, I wore them in tribute to him. Talk about your time with Atlanta. JT: There weren’t too many good experiences, but one I remember well has to do with why I’m in Dallas today. I got my career high against the Mavericks. I scored 46 points, which was just a great feeling. If you could ever say that a player was in a zone, it was me that night. Something else I will never forget about Atlanta is the feeling of going home early. When the second week of April came around, cars were shipped and I was on my way back to Seattle. I will never forget that feeling. Now that I’m in Dallas, I can appreciate being able to extend the season and get to the playoffs. How did you remain positive during the losing seasons in Atlanta? JT: My work ethic, drive, and determination to be the best and win a championship kept me going
