for the record:
My Baskeball team was picked merely by the very fact of my favorite player. Alonzo Mourning. And yea good fortune kissed his life with the coming of the "Shaq" and the emergence of Dewayne. He has his ring. Should have retired and saved his body for his kids and family. He is a grown man, so I will let it go at that.
Now I am at a crossroads.
Brook or Robin Lopez. I mean I tried to root for Eduardo Najera when he was playing for the Mav's. Did not pan out, played well but well lets go on.
Now we have some more good hispanics playing and I would like to follow thier carrears. But this one inicident changed all of that. The New York Knicks number 1 pick this year. Danilo Gallinari from Italy. Yea, like forget about it. Would love very much for the Knicks to come back to the playoff picture so much. Just seems unnatural for them to not be in the mix.
I mean we had the old "Lakers & Celtics" right. Why not the Pistons & Knicks dueling it out.
Then the younger of the twins Robin second, he is playing with my idol "Superman".
And Brook third. I like him, but New Jersey. Somebody save him from this.
Yea, Walton did it for Portland. But he is no Walton. More like a Kevin Garnett with the Wolves. They will be better but so will the Clippers every year.
yes there is always hope, and sometimes they leave her at the hotel. with the baggage.
Not that your asking, but for the record.
As far as all or most of the other picks. Well the record speaks for itself. 10 freshman picked in the first round.
5 upperclassman. David won his first title with the Spurs after Tim Duncan finished four years of college.
I think it means something when someone else spent the time to prove he is coachable. And mature to handle success. But the Kids own the NCAA tourney. So why not the Draft.
As for the best quote of the day by the announcers.
That the Odem who got hurt last year, Portlands first round draft pick last year. Could have at a disadvantage over all of the incoming rookies this year. He can claim the trophy (rookie of the year) by virtue of him sitting out hurt all of last year.
