Broadway Park near Elmhurst Hospital. A bunch of D1 players went too but I didn't recognize any faces.
One of the best basketball players I ever saw was a homeless man at the Kingdome. True story, one of my friends says he just plays basketball all the time. Btw, did Steve Francis get robbed in Harlem? I was listening to an old Jim Jones verse and he said "These are the facts: Steve Francis and Latifah got jacked."
<div class="quote_poster">THE DREAM Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">wikipedia might be the greatest invention ever........I've spent the past hour looking up old TGIF stars and what they're doing now...............if you didn't know a.

Laura from Family Matters posed nude for King magazine back in 1997 but the photos were never released because Family Matters didn't want them out there c. Judie from Family Matters had 500,000 dollars taken away by her parents out of her trust fund and briefly did porn for a while (I saw the pictures and I felt bad for her) d.

What the hell ever happened to Lenny Cooke? http://web.archive.org/web/20020803093237/...Classof2006.htm
He got into some kid of accident and now he's recovering. He's playing in some league in the US, still chasing that NBA dream.

I think he tore his ACL in the Filipino basketball league or something. He was dominating that league before that but I don't think he's fully recovered.
Anybody know what happened to Keith Van Horn??? I know he last played for the mavs and he's only 31. I'm suprised I havent heard his name in this years free agency. Shoot, If Penny,Houston,Reggie Miller,Oakley are comin back. Why can't Horn? I loved and hated the guy(Meaning hated him unless he hit a good shot. haha) Wonder where he's at.
What happened to Doug Christie coming back? I still remember him whooping the **** outta Rick Fox not once but TWICE.
Man, I had an awesome weekend. My friend invited me out Friday night, since it was her birthday on Thursday, so me, her, her boyfriend, her brother and one of their flatmates went out to celebrate. My work is like around the corner from their house, so I went back there straight after work, they just got a couple of new housemates, and one of their friends had left his decks and crate full of vinyls at their place He came around a early in the night to have a spin, he has a sick collection too, I was digging through his crate and he had the likes of Little Brother, Rascoe, D.I.T.C, Big L, Gang Starr, Notorious B.I.G, Pharoahe Monch, Mobb Deep etc. etc. all on vinyl. Was dropping mad classics. Got to the club, downed x2 Jaegerbombs and x2 Green Goblins within the space of about 3 minutes, downed x2 more Green Goblins about 15 minutes later, but I wasnt feeling anything remotely drunk, and was already down quite a bit of money already, so I decided that I was going to have a roll instead. My mates mate hooked me up, I was just kicking back for a while waiting for it to kick in, after about an hour I could feel it starting to pick up steam, although it was a pretty weak drop, I could feel it, but it wasnt very strong. I continued drinking some, and I cant remember how, but started talking to this 32 year old chick at the bar (I'm 20, lol), she was quite attractive though, I cant really remember much of what I said, but I was pretty f***ed at this stage and I remember forgetting her name a couple times, lol. I still managed to leave with her digits though, although I dont know why I asked for them since I dont want to hook up with a 32 year old anyway, lol, unless its for a booty call or somthing, but I dont think she wants that. Crashed at my friends place again last night, just took it easy since we were all coming down still, played a bit of Counter Strike and Half Life 2 online (I'd never played them before, was pretty fun) and that was about it. I'm looking forward to Wednesday now, its a public holiday here and the Horse Races are on, so I'm going there, going to get very messy no doubt, hopefully pick up (that place is a gold mine for honeys) and just have fun, hahaha.

Then he went to the mavs...then he signed like a 10 day contract with Clipps this year i think. SO anyone know where Keith Van Horn is?
Walrus, Keith Van Horn retired. He was frustrated after moving to four cities in five years, so he locked him and his family up in some Denver mansion and has been living there retired ever since. According to a recent ESPN article, the odds of him ever coming back are 30-70. Check out all the players from the '02 HS class that wound up in the pro's.

<div class="quote_poster">Voodoo Child Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> You're just young and naive. You haven't met anyone special yet I guess, but when you do, you'll change your opinion on that. </div> Actually, I think I was more naive back when I thought I was in love with someone after going out for like what...4 months? It usually just dissolves in itself after a while, and then you realize that there's so many chicks your age that are single and looking that love kind of takes a backseat for the time being. I agree with shapecity's posts, your youth is more of a time to experiment than stick to one person (but again, it depends on the person, so if you believe otherwise than I have no reason to disagree with your opinion); I just wish I'd believed in that philosophy sooner. I was pretty picky for 3 of my 4 high school years...nowadays, not so much. Anyway, I ran into this one girl today while I was out that I'd wanted to deal but backed off cause she had a b/f. I haven't talked to her in a while since then, but I'm hoping she doesn't have one anymore. I think I'm going to give her a call tommorow, she is fuckin gorgeous. I didn't get drunk today . Some of the waitresses at the restaurant we went to were pretty bomb.

Well, I believe everyone's bound to be in love with someone at one point or another in thier life, it's just less likely to happen in high school is all I'm sayin. As for Michael Dickerson, I remember reading a feature on him a couple of years back in SLAM after he retired. I don't exactly remember the contents of the article, but it was a cool read. I remember when him and Bibby were in Vancouver, they used to keep showing their alley-oop on Canadian sports networks. I should stop using too much gel on my hair. I don't bother gelling my hair at work, but when I'm out I like to style it and I use pretty strong gel...now I'm just worried it'll **** up my hair a lot sooner if I keep on using it. Anyway, I'm off to sleep.
Oh yeah, I messaged the girl from my old work to see if she'd like to come to the Races on Wednesday, she hasnt replied yet though, lol.

Yeah, Dickerson was amazing. He was traded for the draft rights to Steve Francis back when Steve Francis was the ****. He was only in his twenties when he retired too, right? EDIT: I just looked it up, and he retired five seasons ago when he was 27, so he's 32 now. He posted 18.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 2.5 apg in his last healthy season. And Terrell Brandon is only 37. I'm sure if he's healthy, he'd be able to crack some team's rotation.
