Gaming Nexus: NBA 09: The Inside Interview

Gaming Nexus writes: "Q: Can you introduce yourself and describe your role on the project? How long have you been in the gaming industry and what drew you to your current position?

A: My name is Vernon Mollette and I am the Producer for our NBA franchise. I have been with Sony for over 8 years and have had the opportunity to work with some of the best in the business. I started out in QA as a tester and followed the path through the ranks of QA, Designer, Assoc Producer, to my current position as Producer.

Q: Being a fan of basketball, which rookie do you think will make the most impact this year and who is your favorite player today?

A: I think Beasley is going to come out and be an impact player pretty quick. Being the third option behind Wade and Matrix, he should get some open looks and get going early. He is strong and knows how to use that strength to score about anywhere on the floor he chooses. I look for him to adapt to the speed and physical play of the NBA quickly. As far as my favorite players, I am a Knick fan [insert joke here] and love to watch David Lee play. He has a nose for the ball and heart. When he had every opportunity to quit, he still played like it was game seven. He never stops and it's obvious why he's a Garden favorite." (NBA 09: The Inside , PS2, PS3, PSP)
