On Friday, Drew Gooden and the Milwaukee Bucks will open the 2012-12 NBA season against the Boston Celtics.

Gooden, who is about to start his 11th season in the NBA, recently talked to Jim Owczarski, from OnMilwaukee.com about the upcoming season:

“This year my main focus is just doing my job,” he said. “That’s my main focus. Every year is different and it’s the same thing I could say right now, that’s it. That’s going to be it because everything else will take care of itself.”

The Bucks are in Boston to face the Celtics on Friday. Tipoff is set for 7:30pm ET
