I don't think Dwade or Bosh is evil....

None of the three are evil. They just don't have the sand to get it
done on their own. Well, when you think about it, Wade stayed and the
other two had to leave their teams to try. At least Wade didn't run
away like little girls. ;-)

Sure they have. They stay and work with management to get the right
mix of guys to come and join _them_. They don't give up on their team,
city, fans and have a half hour special on ESPN proclaiming themselves
the best in the Universe and sure to win 6 or 7 championships before
they're done.

No, _real_ great players don't do that shit.

Shaquille now, yes. Others wanted to play with him just a few years
ago. I still can't get my mind around the fact he's closing in on 40!

He had a still relatively dominant Shaq, though not the MVP Shaq.
His feat is comparable to the only other guy to pull off anything
like it: Rick Barry in 1975, 2nd banana Jamaal Wilkes.

I mean when he left Orlando the team that drafted him and he proclaimed
to love.
Gave up on his team and that he had got to the finals, the city and
his fans and went elsewhere. Certainly proclaimed himself
the best in the Universe....constantly.

>I still can't get my mind around the fact he's closing in on 40

I can not believe of all the guys I would expect to someday be the
oldest in the league' it is Shaq.

Hakeem the first one, Drexler joined him the next year.

I had to laugh at Barkley having to modify his disapproval of the three
getting together with an age thing, remember when Hakeem, Chuck and
Pippen were supposed to eat up the west and did not get out of the first
round.

Good one! I hate forgetting about Hakeem's awesomeness. 2nd
banana(s): Vernon Maxwell/Otis Thorpe. Yikes!

Looking at it again, that was a really interesting team. It seems
to have succeeded by playing amazing team basketball. In the
playoffs that year Hakeem, Robert Horry, Kenny Smith, Vernon
Maxwell, and Sam Cassell all averaged nearly 4 assists or higher.
That's bind-moggling.

Made me grin...Barkley earlier had tried to join Drexler in Portland
when he left Philly. Flew to Portland to sell himself and Petrie turned
him down.
Last season he was still whining about that, said Petrie owes him the
airfare. He has not said a nice word about Portland since then
either...more hypocrisy for the chuckster on LBJ
