Pacers point guard T.J. Ford discussed Jameer Nelson's return from a shoulder injury in this year's NBA Finals.

Nelson has played in all four games of the Finals thus far after missing four months with a torn labrum in his shoulder.

"He's been out for a long period of time so those guys made the adjustment of playing without him and not having him there. He does things totally different than Rafer Alston and Anthony Johnson," Ford told 1070 the Fan.

"Around the league, people don't understand how hard it is to play point guard because you have to make adjustments, and everybody have to understand what you're looking for when you're dribbling the ball, when you're penetrating. He gets in certain cracks that Alston can't get to, then when you put him back in the game when he's been out 3-4 months, the guys just not used to it."
