Cook Finds System That Fits His Game

While his initial reaction was shock, he also felt a great deal of relief upon hearing the news of the trade. “I’m just happy to have a fresh start. It’s good to be back in a laid back city. I grew up in Central Illinois and I think I’m going to be able to handle this lifestyle better than the L.A. lifestyle. I love L.A. and the weather was great but it’s all about drama and that doesn’t go on here. They just love basketball and they want the team to win and I respect that.”
The lack of drama isn’t the only positive Cook noticed about Orlando. In fact, it’s almost impossible to miss this six foot eleven monster that is a big part of the Magic’s success this season. Yes, I’m talking about Dwight Howard. “Dwight’s athleticism is crazy, it’s good to play with a dominant big man. He even stole a couple rebounds from me when I was out there,” said Cook with a laugh. “Playing with Dwight is a dream come true because it’ll help me get some open shots and I can spread the floor for him and let him go to work.”
As a Laker, Cook was under the microscope each and every game and received criticism from a lot of fans. While many members of the Magic faithful were sad to see fan favorite Trevor Ariza leave, everyone has been very welcoming to Cook thus far. “It feels good to be wanted,” he said with a smile.
