Ostertag Signs With D-League Texas Legends

Dec 28, 2011 10:14 AM

The Texas Legends came to an agreement with Greg Ostertag and he will make his debut Thursday against Rio Grande Valley.

Ostertag spent most of his NBA career with the Utah Jazz and was one of the the best shot-blockers in the league, swatting a shot every 11.4 minutes of playing time.

"I missed playing,'' Ostertag said. "I shouldn't have quit when I did and I feel like I got to give it one last shot to see if I can make it happen.

"I know there's a lot of naysayers out there who think I couldn't play when I was younger and how am I going to be able to play now? But I'm going to give myself a month or two to get in really good shape and see what happens.''
