<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I think Brian Scalabrine set a record in Boston on Wednesday night. Now the NBA doesn't keep such records, so it would be hard to source, but I can't imagine anything like it ever happening before. Scalabrine is listed at 6-foot-9, 235 pounds. He played 34 minutes against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. There were 100 missed shots in the game. Scalabrine hauled down zero rebounds. So while I can't prove this definitely, I'm going to go ahead and assume that never before had a player this size played this many minutes? in a game with this many missed shots ? without collecting a single rebound. Wesley "Stick" Person may have done it. Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues may have done it. But can you imagine a 6-foot-9 power forward not being able to gather in any one of 100 missed field goal attempts? Or any of the seven defensive rebounds that were available off Cleveland missed free throws? Zero. Nada. That's right, despite playing 34 fewer minutes than Scalabrine on Wednesday night, you matched him rebound for rebound. Of course you didn't receive $36,585 for your effort. He might not pull down any rebounds, but Scalabrine does pull down almost 40 grand per game, thanks to his baffling 5-year, $15M contract. And lest you think Wednesday night was some weird statistical quirk, in his last five games Scalabrine has played 111 minutes and reined in a meager nine rebounds. </div> http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/5337426 Read the whole thing.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Jerry West:</div><div class="quote_post">And he played 35 minutes?</div> No way. He only played 34 minutes. Thats awful. 3 mill. a season? He is robbing them blind.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting olskoolFunktitude:</div><div class="quote_post">i want the people who were chastizing me for lambasting this signing when it happened to come out and take their medicine! scalabrine is still garbage</div> I will admit, when it happened, I defended it in the hopes of getting some good pressure basketball out of him. But alas, piggy, you were right.
big ol scal added another page 2 the chapter 2 with a dismal effort of 4 points and 1 board in 29 mins, whereas olowokandi (finnaly) got 12 points and 11 boards. Just another piece of (watch your mouth) by the big redhead
