<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">He's a 27-year-old NBA rookie with fabulous Fabio hair, a gold medal and a Spanish accent. Walter Herrmann will certainly get noticed this season by Charlotte Bobcats fans. And he has "cult hero" written all over him if he happens to sink a few game-winners. Herrmann is an enigma, which is a good thing. The Bobcats were 26-56 last season and need a little mystery. A 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward, he has played for pro teams in Argentina and Spain since 1996. Bobcats coach/general manager Bernie Bickerstaff brought Herrmann over here on a one-year NBA contract hoping for another half-court scoring option. Herrmann interrupted his honeymoon in Florida this summer to play one game for the Bobcats summer-league team. That semi-tryout went well enough that the Bobcats eventually signed him. He teamed with bigger Argentinian stars like San Antonio's Manu Ginobili at the 2004 Olympics in Greece, where Argentina won the gold medal and the United States finished third. I was there covering those Games for the Observer, but Herrmann didn't register much with me when I saw him play. He was a role player for a superbly united team and one of about a half-dozen big men who could shoot the 3 for the Argentineans. Herrmann said Ginobili has given him three primary pieces of advice about dealing with the NBA: get prepared for a longer schedule, buy fully into the new coach's system and, above all, learn English. Although he started our interview by saying "Sorry, my English is terrible," he speaks the language quite well given he has only lived in the United States full-time for two weeks. Although he spoke in Spanish and used an interpreter for about half our interview, he described his abilities in confident English.</div> Source
<font color="blue">If you don't have anything even worth reading to post, don't post. Don't come on the site posting garbage like this. You probably know little about Herrmann, so why are you going to post garbage like this? Once again, if you have nothing to add to this conversation, then leave yourself out of it. -TBM</font>

Maybe he'll trade for Kwame Brown !</div> Stop making pointless, unfunny posts. Back on topic.. I hope Hermann does well in the NBA, he'll be a good role player on the Bobcats.
Can't wait to see this guy play, watching this team last season was alot of fun, just wait till this yr. But the one I'm really excited to see play is Morrison!! This team is gonna be GOOD.
