The 40-year-old last played in the league in 2007-08, when he averaged 9.1 points in 73 games for the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Hornets. Wells' best years came with the Portland Trail Blazers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In six seasons with the team, Wells averaged 13.3 points and shot 34.4 percent from three-point range. His 310 games in Portland were also his most with any one team. Former Blazers point guard Damon Stoudamire said in 2016 that HBO was producing a documentary focused on the "Jail Blazers" era of Blazers basketball. Wells returned to the court to play in the BIG3 basketball league this past summer. He averaged 10.3 points and 1.3 assists in eight games for Tri State, which finished sixth in the league and missed the playoffs.
I'm honestly surprised that Bonzi has all of his fingers still. I figured he would have gotten pissed off and tried to flip off his ceiling fan at some point during a hot summer.
Ah, Bonzi. What a great fellow. "We're not really going to worry about what the hell [the fans] think about us," Wells says. "They really don't matter to us. They can boo us every day, but they're still going to ask for our autographs if they see us on the street. That's why they're fans and we're NBA players."
All these years later I'm surprised to find out this knucklehead actually HAS a heart.......cold, but there it is.....
I loved Bonzi. Always have. So he got into it with a fan once. Fan is short for fanatic. Get well soon Bonzi!! You shoulda signed with Sac tho...
He was talking about the fans that were booing him AT HOME. He wasn't talking about those of us who were cheering. Context is a muthafucka.
