Tyson Chandler

Bio

When you've grown up on a farm, you approach life a little differently than most. There's an understanding that nothing comes easy. Raised in that walk of life, Tyson Chandler is no stranger to doing the dirty work for his team. He'll dive on the floor for loose balls and swat any opposing shot that comes his way. He'll even do the stuff you won't find in a box score, like boxing out against larger and stronger opponents. Because Tyson believes that on every team, every guy has a role to fill. And everyone's success is based on everyone else getting their job done. And he for one isn't planning on letting anyone down.

Analysis

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 23:29:00 GMT LEAP REPORT : When you talk to Tyson, you realize that he just doesn't care about numbers.
What matters most to him is effort. Steadiness. Energy. That's something that his teammates feed off of.
That's why, despite being plagued with injuries, you can't really measure what Tyson has consistently brought
this season. So as his health begins to take a turn for the better, he'll have even more of everything to
spare come playoff time.
