If Amir hadn't been Amir, he'd have done something with the minutes he'd have had.


i think it was clear amir was gonna play ahead of pob no matter what. he was the first big off the bench since pre-season. and he actually got regular season playing time for the detroit pistons. pob has never been a regular rotation player.

Oh well. Pops is still better for his experiences this year.

He may never cut it in the NBA, but he can be valuable for GB and for a team in Europe. I think that going through NBA training camps, and practicing with guys like CB4 will only help his career.

Keep dreaming sir.

I feel bad for Pops. It's too bad he couldn't find his place in the NBA. You could tell he loved his role and he loved getting the crowd in the game with his energy.


Can't dribble, can't shoot, can't pass

He is just tall as hell, strong, and can jump 35 inches in the air. Anyone on this board could be a 12th man if they were super athletic and 6 9.



I know a lot of people have already jumped on this comment, but i can't help it. The Ignorance and arrogance and idiocy. The down right repugnance.

I scoff at you sir, i scoff at you.
