Speaking of players we remember kinda, how about Nick van Exel: In addition to being named after popular spreadsheet software, he had a whole bunch of solid years with the Lakers and Denver, a couple nice years with Dallas (got a shout out from Jay-Z) before his career crashed and burned because of an elbow injury. Seems like he was pretty famous for a one year all-star? Good for him.

I never really knew as a kid if Van Exel was good or not but I liked him because he stood really far behind the line while shooting free throws (something I would imitate a lot in the hopes that maybe it'd make me better at free throws somehow) and he was my mom's 2nd favorite player behind Patrick Ewing

As a kid I sent out bball cards to all my favorite PGs with a note saying why I liked their game(I love point guards ok) and Nick Van E was the only one to sign the card and he even wrote a nice note in return. So I like him a lot

I don't know if my parents still have it or if they tossed it but I went to an autograph signing of Van Exel, the only one I ever went to.

How come i always hear people talking about players and coaches families. You don't think they can be separated a couple months? That's not much time at all and plenty of jobs are like that in normal times. In fact i will volunteer to send my wife away for two months as an act of solidarity in these troubled times!

So I like him a lot I wrote a letter to Dominique Wilkins when I was 7 after he ruptured his achilles and I have a vague recollection of assuring him that the Hawks were my third favorite team after the Blazers and Hornets (???). I got no response and it's only just now occurring to me that my parents probably never even sent it!!!

Metapod posted:Good news everyone This is the guy that went on TV to be congratulated for sending people to the unemployment line. The unemployment systems in states are currently a disaster with people who haven't heard a word for nearly two months. And they're designed to function to deny people for the most part anyway. That jackaloon is so far out to lunch it's hard to conceptualize without invoking many layers of absurdity. chilihead posted:How come i always hear people talking about players and coaches families.
