It was an eventful Friday for Mike James. After a full week of speculation, he signed a 10-day contract with the Nets early in the day and played later that night ... not meeting his head coach till just before game time.
He was the new kid on the block, coming over from Russia after an MVP caliber season with CSKA Moscow that ended last month. The former EuroLeague star said he arrived at the Barclays Center early to take in his new home arena. From the new scenery to building relationships with his new teammates, it was a lot to take in for the 30-year-old, who admitted he got lost a couple of times in the long white hallways.
