thanks vinnie, been meaning to go pick that up.
as for the thugs of the association, heres what some of the brain surgeons had to say on having to dress up:
so i don't get accused of racism, heres a white guy first:
I think they're coming on way too strict. Movie stars in L.A., they're not always in jackets and ties, and they're setting trends, and we're looked at in the same light."
-- Timberwolves forward Wally Szczerbiak, quoted in the Oct. 7 Minneapolis Star-Tribune
role model duncan next:
I think it's a load of crap. I understand what they're trying to do with [forbidding] hats and 'do rags and [retro] jerseys and stuff. That's fine. But I don't understand why they would take it to this level. I think it's basically retarded.
"I don't like the direction they're going, but who am I?"
-- Spurs leader Tim Duncan, quoted in the Oct. 19 San Antonio Express-News. Duncan also said he might choose to stay in the locker room on nights he isn't playing. way to be a team player there loser.
and my favorite from the coach:
The players have been dressing in prison garb the last five or six years. All the stuff that goes on, it's like gangster, thuggery stuff. It's time. It's been time to do that. But one must remember where one came from. I was wearing bib overalls when I was a player one time. But I wasn't going to the games or events in them.
-- Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, quoted in the Oct. 19 San Gabriel Valley Tribune
AND FINALLY, lets not forget honarable mention to Mr. Camby who takes over for latrelle who needs to feed his family:
Marcus Camby, he of the $7 million salary this season with the Denver Nuggets, said the other day that NBA players should be granted a stipend to help fund the new wardrobes.
gotta love the nba players. a fun bunch of gentlemen.
