here is the link to a great article about Chris Andersen's entire life: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=Andersen-080511judge for youselves
Andersen I think is a mistake. The man has not played NBA competitive basketball in over 2 years.He had 1 decent season.He can't shoot, he can't shoot free throws, he can't post up, he has no face to the basket game, he has never played defense well within a system, he's not a physical defender, and he carries demons and baggage with him whereever he goes.So he's an athletic big man. What the hell does that mean? He can block shots and rebound against second stringers? We need more than an athletic big who has no other form of game. We need someone with Kurt Thomas, Dikembe Motumbo, Alonzo Mourning, Theo Ratliff type of midset. A true professional that is a defensive warrior, big, and can be a second string garbage guy and show the leadership that this team needs on it's second unit. A basketball version of a Teddy Buschi type middle linebacker.
I just wanted to add a story to the Logan "scoop" by SSHorefan. A while back we somehow put two and two together and somehow figured out that we had gone to 9th grade together back in the 80's! We ended going to a playoff game together. Which was pretty funny to see each other and after 20-something years. Anyhow...I was at home when I got a call from my store tonight saying a guy (who could surmise was SsFan had called and needed to speak to me). I got his # and called. SSFan was calling because he need to share his Birdman sighting but had no way of posting it. I had to disappoint him by telling him my home computer was down for the count after a sad meeting with a flash of lightning had rendered it useless.So I hung up, then had a revelation. I could call my shop and walk one of my employees through posting it on CB. Don't ever let it be said that I am not unwilling to make myself an utter geek to my employees for the benefit of offering fresh news! My faithful employee did a fine job with my dictation (though I edited some caps later).So here I am now, back out to close up the shop (and mainly using the excuse to have one last peek at a functional computer before retiring for the day).That's my exciting story. Teamwork at its finest. TP to SSFan when I get a chance.

TP4U Redz for innovation in a time of crisis in the name of better blogging. Gotta try that next time I'm in the middle of something on the road and can't connect to the internet. Call in and have someone read me posts and then respond for me while I dictate the response.Yeah, that won't go over very well. Make sure that employee gets a big Xmas bonus!!

Makes sense. I'd be ok with having him here for the minimum as long as he didn't snort all the ubuntu.
