Jose Calderon - Spanish Flavor
Loading...
Uploaded by VeoShock on Mar 5, 2008
José Manuel Calderón (born September 28, 1981, in Villanueva de la Serena, Badajoz) is a Spanish professional basketball player with the National Basketball Association's Toronto Raptors, playing the position of point guard.
Calderón entered the NBA when former Raptors GM Rob Babcock persuaded the Spanish guard to sign with the Toronto Raptors on 3 August 2005. Known as a talented playmaker, Calderón struggled with his shooting in his first year in the NBA. Many basketball analysts considered the shooting problems a mental issue, as Calderón was a top shooter in the Spanish League. By the end of the 2005--06 season, he was ranked third among all rookies in assists with 4.5 per game. He finished the season with 64 played games, having started in 11 of them. He averaged 5.5 points, 4.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds and an assists-per-turnover ratio of 2.85
Toronto continued to deploy Ford and Calderón in tandem for the point guard position to good effect. Ford was injured for several games in November and December and the Spaniard stepped in with impressive performances. In three games against the Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls, Calderón provided 37 assists while committing only three turnovers. 14 games into the season, he was also leading the league in assist-to-turnover ratio with 5.67 to 1, but even so, he said: "But how I feel about the team right now is that we need T.J. Ford [for the next game]." 35 games into the season, the Spaniard increased the turnover ratio to 6.15 to 1, setting him on course to break an NBA record. By mid-season, he was touted as a possibility for making the All-Star reserve team.
