Joe Harris returns to Brooklyn with Pistons

>> Nancy: AN OLD FRIEND IS BACK IN TOWN. DURING SEVEN SEASONS WITH THE NETS, JOE HARRIS ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS A GREAT THREE-POINT SHOOTER. HAVING A BIT OF A HARD TIME THIS SEASON, NOT PLAYING A WHOLE LOT, JUST 29.2% FROM DEEP. BUT HE IS THE FOURTH-BEST THREE-POINT SHOOTER IN NBA HISTORY, AT 43.6%.

A LITTLE WHILE AGO, MEGHAN CAUGHT UP WITH JOE. >> Meghan: WELCOME BACK TO BARCLAYS CENTER, JOE HARRIS. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT HAVING YOU BACK IN THIS BUILDING. FOR YOU, WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WALK BACK IN THIS ARENA? >> IT’S A LITTLE WEIRD, YEAH. DEFINITELY WEIRD COMING IN THIS MORNING FOR

SHOOTAROUNDMENT BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT’S BEEN AWESOME JUST TO BE ABLE TO SEE EVERYBODY. EVERYBODY FROM SECURITY AT THE BUS TO THE BALL BOYS TO YOU GUYS. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE ALL REALLY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS THAT I HAVE HERE THAT YOU COME BACK, KIND OF REINVIGGO RATES YOU A LITTLE

BIT, AND YOU KNOW, WE’RE HAVING A TOUGH YEAR SO FAR, BUT THIS HAS BEEN A NICE JOLT OF ENERGY FOR PERSONALLY TO COME BACK AND SEE EVERYBODY. >> Meghan: YOU MENTIONED BASKET K BACK HERE. ON ARE T OTHER SIDE OF THINGS. DID YOU KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND THE ARENA AS AN OPPONENT?

>> NO, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN THE VISITORS’ LOCKER ROOM. I BRIEFLY SPENT TIME THERE IN CLEVELAND, BUT WAITS A DIFFERENT LOCKER ROOM SETUP. SO I HAD TO REFAMILIARIZE MYSELF. I GOT TINY OVER THERE AND OTHER BALL BOYS HELPED ME OUT. >> Meghan: THIS IS A BOROUGH

AND PLACE WHERE YOU GREW UP, YOU SPENT MANY YEARS HERE. ARE YOU PREPARED TO THE FAN REACTION, AND, OF COURSE, YOUR WELCOME-BACK VIDEO? >> I MEAN, YEAH. I’M DEFINITELY KIND OF ONE OF THOSE GUYS TO SHY AWAY FROM STOWING LIKE THAT, BUT THIS IS A SPECIAL SPOT, AND OBVIOUSLY

THE FANS, THEY HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART TOO. SO IT’S AWESOME JUST TO COME BACK AND HAVE THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE OF JUST BEING BACK IN THE BUILDING, BACK IN THE BARCLAYS CENTER. >> Meghan: JACQUE SAID HE’S EXCITED TO SEE YOU, ANOTHER FORMER TEAMMATE THAT WILL BE EXCITED IS SPENCER DINWIDDIE.

HE’S MOVING UP ON THE NETS’ ALL-TIME ASSIST LIST AND HE CREDITS YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THINGS FOR THAT. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING HOLLIS-JEFFERSON AND WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF GETTING SO MANY ASSISTS FROM HIM? >> YEAH, SPENCER IS DEFINITELY

ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS THAT I PLAYED W. DEFINITELY A MUTUAL BENEFIT FOR BOTH OF US, AND WE BOTH KIND OF CAME HERE WHEN WE WERE SORT OF YOUNG, REALLY FORMATIVE TIME IN OUR CAREER, AND WE BUILT, WE SOLIDIFIED OURSELVES AS NBA PLAYERS HERE IN BROOKLYN TOGETHER.

SO SPENCER AND I ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL BOND THAT WAY. ALONG WITH A LOT OF THOSE GUYS FROM THE NETS TEAMS, WITH J.D., TREVOR HENDERSON RICKARD’S ALL THE ASSISTANT COACHES, EVERYBODY. PERFORMANCE STAFF. MEDIA. IT’S JUST GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY. I MEAN, THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT THE COMPOUNDING

EFFECT OF THE RELATIONSHIPS YOU HAVE, BEING HERE FOR SO LONG HAS DEFINITELY FORMED SOME SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS. >> Meghan: THE ANOTHER SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP YOU FORMED HERE WAS THE FOOD. YOU WERE MR. FOODIE HERE. YOU ONLY HAD A FEW HOURS HERE, BUT DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO TO ANY FAVORITE RESTAURANTS?

>> YEAH, I WAS ABLE TO MEET ONE A BUDDY OF MINE LAST NIGHT, WE WENT TO INGAS BAR IN BROOKLYN HEIGHTS. >> Meghan: OKAY, BUT THIS ONTO LIST OF PLACE TOSS GO TO. JOE, IT’S ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK IN THE BUILDING. WE’RE EXCITED TO SEE YOU, I

LIKE TO SEE THAT SMILE. NETS FANS WILL LOVE SEEING THAT SMILE AS WELL. >> I APPRECIATE IT, MEGHAN, THANK YOU. >> Nancy: GREAT FINISH MEARNTION, LOVE IT.
