I haven't exactly been following his career closely, but it seems that Mohammed has developed a weird pattern of playing very well for his first few months with a new team, then going into a long funk until his next change of address.
I remember when the Hawks first got him, and he put up some good numbers, and Hawk fans were thrilled. "Nazr wants to stay in Atlanta!" they'd crow. And stay he did, but come the next year, he wasn't nearly as impressive. Eventually they lost interest him enough that he was shipped to the Knicks, where he once again played well for a while. But it was not to last. The trade to the Spurs didn't raise that many eyebrows at the time, because it looked like two role-playing backup big men changing squads for, who knows, chemistry and/or financial reasons.
But now Mohammed is at it again, looking like a legitimate NBA center in his honeymoon with his new team. What's the deal? Is my perception off here?
