SN: You're signed with the Clippers through 2012, longer than anybody but rookie Al Thornton. Do you love L.A.?
Kaman: Actually, I hate it. Traffic is a beast, and some of the other stuff is kind of too much for me. I'm not so much a city guy. I like four-wheelers, just being outside messing around. Back home in Michigan, I do all that outdoors stuff, but there isn't even room for it here. You can't even shoot a bow and arrow; I got a city violation for shooting my bow and arrow in my back yard.
SN: What did you do? Shoot it into a tree?
Kaman: No, obviously not a tree, you dork.
SN: Did you just call me a dork?
Kaman: Obviously, you've never shot a bow and arrow before. You don't just shoot it into a tree or else you've got to pull it out, and you'd need a pliers every time. You shoot it at a soft target. There's one in my back yard. My brother had his bow and went to pull it, but the trigger thing broke, it shot and it landed in my neighbor's roof. It just stuck right in there. The cops came over and they were going to arrest me and try to fine me a bunch of money, so I sent all my stuff home to Michigan.
