KLMNO PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL The newest Wizard is keeping a low profile


Lewis practically sneaks into his first game, but he’s ready to contribute


BY MICHAEL LEE Rashard Lewis has always


been able to stay below the radar, even while signing a contract that made him among the highest- paid players in the league and making major contributions on a team that reached the NBA Fi- nals. So Lewis’s debut with the Washington Wizards was exactly what one would expect from an unassuming former all-star who eschews the attention. Lewis came off the bench dur-


ing a timeout late in the first quarter of the Wizards’ 87-80 loss on Wednesday to the Chicago Bulls, unable to receive an appro- priate introduction or an ovation from his new fans. And he was perfectly fine with sneaking into the game. “For the first game, yeah, kind


of slide in easy,” saidLewis,whom the Wizards acquired on Dec. 19 in exchange for Gilbert Arenas. “I’m a quiet person. You ain’t going to see me hooting around, jumping around yelling and screaming. I like to go out there, get the job done, go home, kick my feet up and relax.” He even arrived inWashington


as almost an afterthought, with Wizards President Ernie Grun- feld not answering one question about Lewis when he announced that the Wizards had traded Are- nas, the former face of the fran- chise, to the Orlando Magic. In some respects, the Wizards trad- ed the class clown for the teach-

of shot attempts wentdownin his time here.He was only interested in winning games and helping out his teammates. For a coach, when you have somebody like that, you have a great, great appreciation.Washington is hav- ing one of the absolute best pro- fessionals in this league.” Magic General Manager Otis


Smith lured Lewis away from Seattle with a six-year, $118 mil- lion contract in the summer of 2007, hoping that he would pro- vide some complementary scor- ing for Dwight Howard. Lewis made one all-star team, helped the Magic reach the conference finals twice and theNBAFinals in 2009, but his production and role within the team decreased each season that he was in Orlando. “We had so much talent, so


many scorers, somebody had to sacrifice,” Lewis said. “Everybody can’t take 15, 20 shots. I didwhat I had to do to win ballgames. At the end of the day, I guess it didn’t work.” Lewis, 31, is the second-highest

“Rashard, to me, is as good a professional and as good a team guy as anybody that I’ve been around in this league. I don’t think there’s anybody who is will- ing to sacrifice his own personal stuff for the good of the team more than Rashard has,” Van Gundy said. “He never com- plained about anything. Number

paid player in the NBA this sea- son, right behind Kobe Bryant. For his entire time in Orlando, Lewis had to constantly hear about how he was overpaid. The pressure sometimes consumed him, according to league sources. But inWashington, Lewis is actu- ally seen as providing some long- term salary cap flexibility, as he is guaranteed just $10 million in the 2012-13 season and the Wizards have removed Arenas’s salary from the books in 2013-14. Whenasked if he felt free of the


weight of having to live up to his contract, Lewis said, “Not neces- sarily. My job is to go out there and play basketball, try to win ballgames. Regardless of how


many points you score or re- bounds you grab, we’re going to go with what helps the team win, and that’s what I did in Orlando.” Hedo Turkoglu, who re-joined


the Magic as part of the team’s massive roster overall, said Lewis was “huge” during Orlando’s run to the Finals. “Great teammate. I wish I would’ve been playing with him again, but those are things that I really can’t control,” Turkoglu said. “I just wish him the best. He deserves to be in a good spot.” Smith felt he had to shake up


his roster, believing that theMag- ic wasn’t constructed to seriously compete with Miami and Boston in the Eastern Conference, but said he respected Lewis personal- ly.


“When I talk about Rashard,


the thing I always say, he is definitely a man. There is no question about that. He don’t have a whole lot of BS in him.He’s a straightforward shooter as a guy,” Smith said. “I think Rashard had a lot of good basketball left, but the way our team was struc- tured and shaping, the opportu- nity to move him for Gil made sense for us.” Lewis found out about the


trade while he was taking a pre- game nap in preparation for the Magic’s game against the Phila- delphia 76ers. He had heard ru- mors that morning that he might be dealt, so when his phone rang repeatedly, Lewis already had a hunch that he was gone. “I most definitely was sur-


prised by it,” Lewis said. “But we was playing up and down at the time [and] when an elite team is not playing well, they are going to look to make moves to look to try to make the team better.”


Lewis said he dealt with the disappointment of moving from one of the best teams in the East to one of the worst by avoiding his phone and playing around with his two young children, Gianna, 3, and Rashard Jr., 5 months. “Bad as the news was, playing


with my kids is what put a smile on my face. That blocked it out a little bit,” said Lewis, who was traded for the first time in his 13th season. “I always try to think positive, even when it’s the worst day in your life. You’ve got to think positive and look forward to your future. I got traded that day, but I said, once this day is over with, I’ll be fine.” After scoring eight points in


his first game, Lewis was appre- ciative that the trade allowed him return home to his native Hous- ton for the holiday season, with the Wizards set to complete a back-to-back set in Texas begin- ningonSunday against San Anto- nio and then the Rockets. Lewis brought up with him toWashing- ton his two kids and fiancee, Giovanni Fortes, and they all currently reside in a hotel. Teams can provide hotel stays for up to 45 days after a trade, but Lewis is hoping to find a place sooner than later. “I think the toughest thing is


doing everything on the fly, on the move,” Lewis said. “You’ve got to not only learn the scheme, offense and defense, but finding a place to stay, moving your family. Getting your clothes out here, a car to drive, learning how to get around the city. It’s just a million things, the small things, but bas- ketball won’t be as hard as all the other things you’ve got to do to get yourself situated.” leem@washpost.com


James, Heat have their way with L.A.


lakers from D1


final minutes. “We’re not trying tomake a


statement to anyone,” James said. “We’re trying to show each other that we can play at a high level. We’re happy be- cause we got better today.” Bryant and Pau Gasol


scored 17 points apiece for the Lakers, who fell behind early and never caught up to the tantalizing new contenders for their title. James played a balanced,


patient game, even after a technical foul near halftime for an under-the-basket scuf- fle withLakersdefensive stop- per Ron Artest. James’s team- mates contributed enough to keep the Heat comfortably ahead, with Bosh playing an outstanding first half andMa- rio Chalmers contributing 13 points in a reserve role, in- cluding three three-pointers. Lamar Odom had 14 points


and nine rebounds for the Lakers, who have lost two straight at home after win- ning five in a row on the road, following up Tuesday’s col- lapse againstMilwaukee with this high-profile flop. Although Bryant wore gar-


ish green shoes for the holi- day, his Lakers simply didn’t raise their games to meet the spotlight that follows Miami, falling well behind in the first half and never making a run. “It’s like these games mean


more to our opponents than they do to us,” Bryant said. “I think we need to get that straight — play with more focus, put more [emphasis] on these games. I don’t like it. . . .We know what we’re capa- ble of doing, and that’s part of the problem.” While the Heat realizes


Boston and Orlando aremuch more important obstacles to its championship hopes, and while the Lakers don’t get terribly excited about playing anybody except the Celtics, there was a palpable edge in the crowd at Staples Center. It turned into frustration as


the Lakers mostly failed to match the Miami stars’ big- game effort. Bryant, who picked up his third technical foul in two games, was visibly displeased with his team- mates throughout the second half.


Coach Phil Jackson dislikes


the Lakers’ annual spot on the NBA’s Christmas schedule, and perhaps for reasons be- yond the season: Los Angeles dropped to 4-8 on Christmas since 1999, including last sea- son’s one-sided loss to James’s Cleveland Cavaliers. Players on both teams


broke out festive holiday sneakers for the occasion, in- cluding lime-green Nike kicks on Bryant, Gasol and Odom. Jamesand Bosh wore holiday- red shoes with garish green laces. Wademissed theHeat’swin


in Phoenix on Thursday night to rest his sore knee, and he wasn’t yet 100 percent at Sta- ples. He acknowledged the injury increased his fatigue, which seemed obvious in two missed dunks in the first half.

points down to take a 26-24 lead when StephenMcGee, in his first NFL game, threw 45 yards to wide receiver Miles Austin for a touchdown with 1 minute 46 seconds to play. But the Cowboys missed the extra point and only

Feely, who had a 49-yarder earli- er, has missed three kicks all season, including a 49-yard at- tempt Saturday night. Dallas fell behind 14-0 when


Jon Kitna had interceptions re- turned for touchdowns on the Cowboys’ first two possessions. Marion Barber scored on a hard-nosed 24-yard run and Da- vid Buehler hit his second field goal from 53 yards, helping the Cowboys pull to 21-20 after three quarters. Dallas lost Kitna to a right hip


injury in the third quarter, but kept moving the ball under Mc- Gee in his firstNFLaction to rally nearly all the way back from an 18-point deficit. The Cowboys’ defense shut

paced off on the ensuing kickoff, because Barber took off his hel- met in celebration. Standings-wise, this wasn’t


much to get excited about. The Cardinals gave Christmas dinner was looking like a tasty nightcap in their home finale, though, returning two passes by Kitna for scores in the first 6½ minutes, then getting a 74-yard scoring hookup between rookies John Skelton and Andre Roberts in the second quarter. Dominique Rodgers-Cro-


martie had the first pick-six on Dallas’s second play, scoring from 32 yards after Miles Austin slipped on an out route. Greg Toler took it in from 66


yards on the Cowboys’ next series after Kitna’s pass bounded off the arm of wide receiver Roy Wil- liams.
