<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Branson Wright, Cleveland Plain Dealer:</div><div class="quote_post"> Sometime during the Cavaliers' homestand, on Nov. 7 (against Atlanta), Nov. 9 (against Chicago) or Nov. 11 (against Boston), action will stop, an announcement will be made and Donyell Marshall will receive the game ball after scoring the 10,000th point of his career. Marshall, a forward for the Cavaliers, is 42 points away from the feat. It's a milestone that appeared a shoo-in when Marshall was the fourth overall pick in the 1994 NBA Draft. His career, however, got off to a slow start. He was traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Golden State Warriors during his rookie year, and he spent the next two years playing sparingly with the Warriors - not the usual role for a lottery pick. </div> Full story... It's good to see that Marshall is close, for he is a player who has always been capable of great things. Hopefully he won't encounter the milestone barrier that so many sports stars do - get close to a milestone than take a long time to achieve it.
Then they'll probably have to wait a bit longer, lol. Or maybe they'll just give it to him anyway and hope no-one notices, lol.
