    I don't know about this one...... I did the other 2 because it blew me away back then and still does how much hate Nic was getting and how so many were saying we were overpaying him. Just enjoy reminding people when they are wrong.

    I was actually a fan of Damon...... the player NOT the person. I'd be cool with Dame being as good as Damon was. Unlike the majority on here, I'd don't think a player is a complete NBDL scrub if he doesn't become an all-star.

    I bumped it due to Friday's game vs. Minnesota. You know that the invasion is coming. We all need to have our guard up. Wolverines!

    You're just saying that cuz you said it.

    I liked what Damon did in Toronto. And he had flashes here. He just didn't live up to the hype/expectations after his trade here.

    And Damon is actually a good person. He did some real stupid and selfish things, and I think that is part of why he didn't live up to the hype/expectations after being traded here. But he was a really nice dude - met him a few times through a good family friend.

    I grew up with him and he was a prick! To this day if nobody is around...... he'll walk over and say what's up John! If any players or coaches are around, completely ignores me. But I did actually like his game.

    I will throw in my two cents about Damon.

    Met him at least a dozen times in social settings. He was always nice, never appeared stuck up and most of the time willing to let his guard down and spend time talking with you. In my experience he is a genuinely nice guy who cares what people think of him.


    I've also had the "pleasure" of meeting Zach a few times. Not stuck up, but not a genuinely nice guy, IMO.

    Yeah, but that's cuz you're like the ugly girl that when you really need it, you'd hit it. But if anyone else is around, don't let them see you even at butterface.

    Yeah, not a big Z-Bo fan. If Z-Bo ever became a big enough celeb to make it on the Perez Hilton website, Perez would have done his old trick of drawing in white dots under celeb noses. Z-Bo's would have been genuinely deserved.
