EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. _ It is an interesting place to make a living, in the shadows of Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade.

It has emboldened mouthy Damon Jones, who is either charming or obnoxious, depending on which team you cheer.

It has given obvious confidence to lovable jitterbug Keyon Dooling, who pokes fun at himself and flexes like Alonzo Mourning on behalf of ``skinny people everywhere.''

It has skyrocketed the value of Udonis Haslem, who quietly and proudly and gracefully does all the janitorial work with the knowledge he's about to become a very wealthy man.
