    Man, I was watchin that Denver vs. Houston 1990 game, and it just brought back memories. Hakeem spinnin all over the place and making the plays that led to the championships. But Buck Johnson has been slashing and dashing all over the place during that game. Whatever happened to him?

    "The Blade" went to Washington for a bit after he left Houston. Man, Hakeem had some sorry supporting casts.

    Oh, without a doubt. Bring in Derrick Chievous, Bill Willoughby, and Major Jones, too. We'd have a hell of a backup lineup.

    Well, Buck Johnson is much better than those rejects you mentioned, Dr. Dunk. Buck would fit in as a backup behind Rice and Nachbar, I would think. I like his slashing ability and drive to the hoop.

    At 38, he can still do that.....that can be equal to 8 pts and 4 rebounds here....some contribution as a backup SF..

    Hey, since those European numbers are so translatable to the NBA game, how about you translate Gregor ****a's numbers?

    That's {F}{u}{c}{k}{a}. He's got a great last name we can all have fun with, he averages about 24 pts and 8 rebs per game and is also 7'1" tall! DAMN! That's gotta translate to at least 2 points, 1 rebound, and 5'3" in height in the NBA.

    Maybe Bob McAdoo is still averaging 35-40 points overseas at the age of 90. Hell, I bet he'd average at least 30 points in the NBA!

    While we're at it, how about we go to www.telebasket.com and check out the dozens of Euro players that average great numbers but won't have their stats translated to the NBA game because they suck harder than a starving baby on his mama's tit?

    I thought he tested positive for cocaine in a drug test, I didn't think he was actually arrested for possession.
