    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Haitian Sensation is now officially a Canadian citizen. On Tuesday morning at 10:00am EST in a private ceremony Samuel Dalembert became the country's newest citizen in Hamilton, Ontario. The Score is there and exclusive footage of the proceedings can be seen today on To The Point and tonight The Score Tonight.

    For both Dalembert and Team Canada Head Coach Leo Rautins it has been a long road to get to this point. During a live Raptors game broadcast last NBA season, Rautins explained that Dalembert had every piece of legal Canadian paperwork?except for his passport. Then, one week ago today, a privy meeting was held to decide if the Philadelphia 76ers center would have his citizenship hearing fast-tracked due to his outstanding community service and the fact that he still keeps residence in Canada.

    The Score


    Nice, we have a Centre, all we need is Nash[​IMG]

    I am elated that someone is finally taking some pride in playing for Canada (other than Nash however many years ago)

    ^Well, right now yea. Dalembert can hit 3's, Magloire can't. I think those two, can play well together, but they will get burned by Bosh - Howard, but it will still be fun to watch.

    Since when can Dalembert hit threes? If I ever see that seven foot dude shoot a three I'm definitely turning my TV off.

    But Sam has to have one of the most diverse backgrounds in the league...Haiti, now Canada. I wish he was a better player though.

    Dalembert is as dumb as a rock though. Expect to see some games where he fouls out in 15 minutes, gets called for goal tending 10 times, and commits 10 turnovers. Also, his offensive game in non-existent except for dunking and put backs. That video Master Shake posted was all luck because Dalembert couldn't hit a jumper or a three to save his life

    He can't hit that consistently hence the reason the announcer said, "Are you kidding me?!".

    Wow, okay. So you backed up your claim. Pat Garrity actually dunked on Samuel Dalembert. Wow [​IMG]

    Dalembert was so happy when he finally became a Canadian citizen. Good for him.

    Ok?[​IMG]

    Well I'm not a Sammy fan, way overpaid, bad work ethic, etc. for Canadian basketball though, its a good move, considering the next best center at the moment is Magloire.

    I'm only joking about the Garrity thing. I just like to bring it up because that's the only thing that Garrity has done right in his career.
