He will be on the show today that is on right now!!! He said "a player who hit his first game winning buzzer beater, Monta Ellis". I wonder if Rome is going to mention what happened last time he was on!
Just caught the last minute or so of it. Seemed like all the other interviews I've heard with him before except hes more articulate now and not such a terrible interview, but content is the same.
The kid is from Mississippi, has a HS education and is an athlete. I dont expect him to be too articulate. He has not had the PR experience of a typical big time college athlete. I love the kids attitude though...

I've been to that neighborhood for AAU games before and was scared to walk alone. It's a rough area, and in comparison to most of his old neighbors, Monta's very articulate.
Oh yeah, the kid has his head on straight and it would not suprise me if he was an honor student, but the kid is not going to be writing a dissertation any time soon...
I agree with Ellis on KNBR about the trade. It was an even trade for both teams. It just feels like we score a lot more and steal the ball, but we seem to rebound a lot less and give up the rock sooner. Too many 3-point jacks, few interior stops down the middle, and lack of go-to inside scoring still remains the same. But we're either quicker, smaller, more athletic when we do it. Unlike Murphy or Dunleavy, we got guys that want to be here and won't worry about stats.

Happy that he's not here anymore.

Murphy is totally like Dirk. He should have made the all-star team this year, too. Murphy for MVP!
