    Damn, I like this dudes swagger! Wish he would come to Portland, he and Damian would just feed off each other! Plus that was entertaining to read the whole way through, really get a good glimpse of his true character and who he is. Well done Dion, and I am glad you're in the Leastern Conference.

    Great article! Hard to hate on someone after hearing his life story.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Not to go too far off topic... but man! I tell you Derek Jeter is one smart MF. When I heard about his idea to start a news website, The Players Tribune, or "player's only" submissions I didn't think twice. But it totally fills the gap for player biography pieces that "journalists" don't do any more and modern fans long for to make out from shitty PR. These are the kinds of things you would've read in Sport Magazine or The Sporting News. Oh and Derek just conned Jeb Bush into putting up most of the money to buy the fucking Miami Marlins, whom he'll probably turned around into a powerhouse.

    Also, great article by Dion.

    I like this dude. Respect his story. He's still an inefficient scorer who doesn't okay much defense or pass the ball.

    Cool story though.

    Man, I took a week off of here a few years ago and missed the whole Soup Juggler movement. Never took the time to find out what that was about and who started it! Isn't it MM who hates players from The 'Cuse?

    Yes. No players from the Cuse, or WABC.
