    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Your countryman John Amaechi once said that he couldn't compete in a slam dunk contest, but he could win a "fancy layup" contest.

    That's one small step for man...once giant leap for "THE" HCP-kind.

    Wasn't there a play that looked like Ice was playing for the Bullets? Where he did that monster dunk? Nevermind, it was an All Star game.

    I do see some Ice in Batum, but I'll be happy if he's half Pippen and half Ice. ;)

    If it's the one I'm thinking of, I think it was 64 points. Man it ticked me off. Toward the end, Barry's teammates were passing up breakaway layups to give him the ball so he could pad his points. I hated Barry. But I imitated his running half hook bank shot to great affect anyway. :)

    I've been comparing Nico to George Gervin, with better defense. I guess there aren't that many here who are old enough to remember him. Thanks for posting the vids. I loved watching Gervin when I was a kid.

    Was that self-deprecating humor on his part? :dunno:
