    Hey guys i was doing some late night grocery shopping at my local pathmark at Edgewater Commons in Edgewater , NJ and as i start to head for the register I notice some tall guy walking with a couple of buddies in front of me and after a few seconds I realized it was Stromile Swift. For a second i thought it was Chad Johnson lol they kindve look alike IMO. So as I'm walking behind them, I'm able to make eye contact with Stro as he looks back ,I'm like "Stromile Swift!", hes says yea and reached out to me to shake hands. I told him I was a big nets fan. He was very cool about being approached.

    On a side note the cashier told me that Al Harrington was shopping there last week.

    Damn I've never seen so much hate on grocery shopping before. Everyone's gotta eat!

    They all live in Edgewater. There's a complex there and they just exchange condos as trades are made. Not kidding.

    Who's "they all", Net Income? I think Kidd lived in Saddle River (I think the wife has the place to herself now), and Carter lives on the same block.

    Well, considering how much time he spends on the bench, I'm sure he does. Too bad you didn't mention S2 to him, go nets.

    I'd beleive that.

    I know in my town there was a town the Yankees owned. As Mattingly moved out, Tino Martinez moved in.

    If my memory is correct, I think he had a few places in NJ. I think one of the them was in Edgewater. That is the one Harris lives in now.

    Remember Kidd was a Player Player. All players need another pad.

    If I had their money I would do the same. two or three. Why pay for hotel rooms when you can afford a mortgage.

    Planinic, Krstic, Ilic, Nachbar, Kidd (after the divorce), Harris, and I believe Collins and Carter (after the divorce). Harris took Kidd's apartment after the trade.

    It's on the river in Edgewater. Gated community.

    That's pretty cool. I wonder if Brook Lopez and Ryan Anderson are moving into Krstic's and Nachbar's pads...

    That's cool, man. Don't know if this counts, but I met DJ Augustin's uncle today.

    Throughout my lifetime I've met: Howard Eisley, Moochie Norris, Dikembe Mutombo, Penny Hardaway, Mark Jackson, and Gary Payton.

    You may get another chance to meet Eisley. He has been working out at the Nets' practice facility.
