    I remember him having a 50 foot vertical leap and the ability to set baskets literally on fire when he heated up. I remember him being one of the "other" licensing-friendly players you could pick in a version or two of NBA JAM. Like you would pick the Magic wanting to play as Shaq and Penny, and instead the game would give you Scott Skiles and Nick Anderson.

    GRABS THE REBOUND.

    Fantasy basketball owners with Bucks players on their teams are probably rejoicing right now.

    By which we mean all those dweebs who thought they were picking a "sleeper" in Ilyasova while not understanding that players sometimes just play for contracts. Hope y'all wasted a midround pick on the latter. *tsk* *tsk* :cool:

    P.S. I would crush you! ;)

    Beaten like a Bucks team projected to win 40 games but still make the playoffs.

    Didn't he get fired/resign from Chicago after we blew out his team in 2007? And then Jim Boylan took over that team as well. Its almost like history is repeating itself.

    I was watching for that as well and I'll disagree. I counted only two or three that may not always (or "9/10 times") result in assists the way the NBA counts them. Europe is a different matter. There he would have only about half of what he got.

    I'd like to see a team with Kobe, Monta Ellis, and Rudy Gay.
