* PAOK has decided to replace Lampley and is currently looking for another
American player. Carlos Rodgers (2.06m from Tennesse State, Seattle's No 11
draft pick) and Brian Grant (2.06m from Xavier, Sacramento's No 8 draft
pick) are the most likely candidates. PAOK are trying to work out a deal
with one of them.

Do you mean Evers Burns?????
And where is 6'9" Rod Sellers out of UConn. He played the last couple
years at least. I don't know which team he was on but he finished up
at UConn in 1992.

Where's Pace Mannion? He was cut in mid-season by Bennetton Treviso, the team
Toni Kukoc had played for, and was planning on playing in Greece this year. I
know because I lived in Treviso at the time...

1994, coming just after Mannion was cut.) had something (that I haven't seen
here) called the NBA Jam Tournament Edition. The premise was the same, but
with the 93-94 starting rosters (still 92-93 regular season placements) and
teams came with three players (choose two and subbing allowed at halftime)
plus some things that shouldn't have been added. Graphics and statistics were
better and more realistic though than the original (see below).
The thing was, EVERY GAME, SOMEBODY would take Kukoc (Bulls were Pippen,
Grant, Kukoc...) They knew who he was, most certainly. He had been there
less than a year before... and Croatia is only 100 miles from there...
It sure was FUNNY to see Shawn Bradley get thrown into the stands so much!

What the heck:
The poop on Scott from when he was playing at Rice:
He's a good rebounder and excellent inside scorer, and a terrific passer
for a big man, but he's pretty soft on defense, rather slow, and can't
jump to save his life (and hasn't blocked a shot in his life).
Great fun to watch, though. Really looks like he enjoys the game.
One game against Georgetown, a few years back, he totally sk00l'd
Dikembe Mutombo (Mourning was injured for that game) during the first
half, when Thompson tried to have Dik guard him one on one. The second
half, Georgetown started collapsing on him with everyone and his dog,
and Brent stopped scoring.
How's he been doing in Greece?

From the archives...
Berwald was picked #115 in 1984 by the Lakers. The 5th round...

Actually, the quote was he hadn't seen the "clubs."
It was a joke. According to the original AP story, he and his assistant
(Dennis Tracey) stayed in a hotel nearly overlooking the Parthenon and had
toured it earlier the same day.
Get a clue.
